the story itself was really interesting, but the writing didn't hit as much. also i read this for my ap lit class so obviously it wasn't the best. if i read this by myself i think i would've loved it. maybeee i'll try to read more classics this year because i want to be rory gilmore

It had been a while since I'd read anything classic-ish, so I thought I'd try the original sci-fi novel. Since my previous exposure to the story had been based on various movies, I didn't know what to expect. The author pretty much leaves the details of the creature up to the reader's imagination, and what you are left with is a psychological thriller. Basically Dr. Frankie is a big whiner who should have known better and makes the wrong decision at every point in the story.

All in all, not bad, but I would have liked some more details on the creature to satisfy my geekness. All of the electricity, dark and stormy nights, Igor, "IT'S ALIVE!!!", etc. was all from the land of Hollywood, and I really think it added some needed oomph to the story :)
