It sounds fascinating, but I usually can't handle books where the character becomes a worse person instead of a better one.

And, then I found out that there definitely will be a sequel later this year. To me, it seemed Victor wasn't finished being all obsessed with playing God, just yet. (Of course, he will end tragically in Mary Shelley's book.)Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-17941073039850110472012-02-07T02:53:58.729+11:002012-02-07T02:53:58.729+11:00When I first heard about this book I put it on my ...When I first heard about this book I put it on my list of books I was definitely not interested in reading. Although I love Frankestein, I've had to read the book 3 times over the past 3 years for school....so I'm a little Frankenstien'd out. Having read so many really positive reviews though I'm starting to reconsider! It probably would be interesting to see how Kenneth Oppel has remained this classic tale. It's now being moved over to me to-read list.

I never would've thought I'd be so intrigued by a Frankenstein-oriented book before! x) LOL I always avoided reading the original Frankenstein because I'm not a fan of horror, but I'm starting to get over my scaredy cat ways and this book actually sounds SO cool! I think I can understand Victor's motivations too! ;)<br /><br />Awesome review, Lan!

No pressure. <br /><br />Just FYI, there will be a sequel coming out in August/Sept. this year, in case you want to read more. I'm really excited about it!<br /><br />P.S.
