4.0

The pacing of the first half of the novel was slow.  I think my knowledge of Doctor Moreau meant that learning about the hybrids was expected and not interesting enough to hold my attention.  I pushed through and eventually, the story picked up.  I did enjoy the latter half and felt as if I knew the characters well and liked most of them.  The ending was satisfying
