It was a dark and stormy night when Tor Frankenstein accidentally hit someone with her car. And killed him. But all is not lost--Tor, being the scientific genius she is, brings him back to life...
Thus begins a twisty, turn-y take on a familiar tale, set in the town of Hollow Pines, Texas, where high school is truly horrifying. @goodreads
MY REVIEW:
3 STARS
Who doesn't love Frankenstein?
I thought the book was okay for what it was, I loved the concept. I just didn't love the book to death. That being said, there will be tons of people to love this book and that is great :)
As you can read in the blurb, Victoria (Tor) Frankenstein takes after her late father in the Science department, but she goes a little bit further and creates her own re-animated being. She does this with the help of her best friend Owen, which he wasn't on board with at first, but you kinda have to when it happens.. right? right?
Tor names "him" Adam and he doesn't recall any memories of who he really is.. just nothing. Adam is very sweet and acts like Tor is his mama, which, I guess she is this time around! I mean he's not a randomly pieced together boy, he was in a tragic accident and then boom...he's back :)
I guess what got me for the story is when right the next day they take him to school before teaching him too much of anything. There were some fun things go on at school that involved Adam.
There are some twists, turns and some other things that will lead up to the next book.
*I would like to thank NETGALLEY and MACMILLAN for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.*

Hmmm... This sounds interesting. I'll have to add it on Goodreads!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting. I mean, that's what made me want to read it, I just couldn't get into it that much. I hate that too. Maybe I will have to do a re read some day :)
DeleteI love Frakenstein! I'm actually reading a Frakenstein graphic novel at the current moment and am enjoying it so far. I do think it is important to enjoy books like these and it's a shame that it wasn't too mind blowing though :/
ReplyDeleteI never see these posts until wayy later. I would love to read a graphic novel of Frankenstein! I bet it's good! :-)
