Add a CommentA very entertaining prequel that explains why Victor will make Frankenstien Monster later on. The ending was a bit too sudden for my taste but still, the book was good! Most of the characters were fantastic! Truthfuly, I prefered Victor of all the rest , even Konrad. Konrad isn't my favourite but better than Elizabeth. She was a bit stuckup. Can't wait to read the next book!
A quick, simple read, but nevertheless thoroughly enjoyable. The ending was extremely sad.
It has its moments of being enchanting and very engaging story. I just wish authors would stop being so lazy with the romantic bits in YA novels, three teenage boys in love with one girl is just lazy writing. Elizabeth is likable, but I would have preferred my Dr. Frankenstein to be more into the intrigue of science and black arts then trying to be a c-block.
I had high expectations for this book, but it reads more like a middle grade novel than a teen novel, or perhaps somewhere in the middle of the two. It was decent, particularly good in the middle, and the ending turned me for a loop.
a really great book. the ending haunted me so bad i almost put the book in my fridge :)
love it! really captures the personality of the characters - provides a nice explanation for the creation of frankenstein. must read!!
