This is the second book in this series that I began while doing Project Frankenstein. One of the quibbles that I complained about while I read the first one remains an issue in this one: Victor is everything bad. He was pals with Hitler and Stalin and such. But what exactly made him this way? It is ...

While the Maine setting and game warden occupation of the lead character sounded promising, I did not care for this book at all. The MC was a young, whiny, officious jerk and the plot was pretty uninspired. I listened to the audio and the reader, John Bedford Lloyd, was as bad as the book. Not su...
Here are a few thoughts that ran through my head as I listened to Edward M. "Teddy" Kennedy's memoirs:1. The rich really are different from us. 2. Teddy Kennedy really loves to sail. 3. I'm not sure that America is capable of producing great statesmen like Teddy Kennedy, let alone statesmen like his...
Koontz is sometimes hit-and-miss for me, but so far I'm enjoying his take on Frankenstein. As usual his characters sometimes engage in mundane-but-amusing dialogue that I find charming. And the token golden retriever? I'm sure there was one, but it's been a couple months since I've read this.
The more I think about it, the less I like this book. Dean really should have stuck to collaborating with other writers for this series, as much as it pained him to do it. He completely dropped some storylines, added others unnecessarily, and the characters became caricatures. So much potential, so...
Maybe it's my distracted state of mind but I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as Frankenstein Prodigal Son . I didn't find it very interesting and found my mind drifting away throughout most of it. I think the thing I liked best about the first book in the series was learning more about the mo...
I liked this book just as well as the first. It leaves off with a whopper of a cliffhanger though! I think it was good for Dean to collaborate, because it seems so much more like his earlier writing style. Now I hear he won't be collaborating for the last book in the trilogy, and I'm kind of sad, be...
