Interesting discussion of topics such as Ai and the meaning of life. I didn’t realise until embarrassingly late that Ron Lord was meant to be Byron, and Polly D was meant to be the other P name guy.

I don’t think the rape scene was at all necessary, it was weird and out of place and I hated it

I cannot put into words how much I loathed this book from the moment it began with Mary Shelley stripping naked and walking outdoors for . . . quirky genius reasons? This was, unfortunately, the first page.

Started our great, drifted halfway and lost me completely at the end. Very strange, very funny, very beautifully written. Looking forward to reading Jeanette’s other work as I love the writing style, just not sure this story gave me enough in the end

3.0

It’s an interesting thought exercise, overlaying Frankenstein on modern culture, medicine, and technology. I get why this book is good. It gave me the brain-tingling feelings of good literature, where I can feel myself thinking about things in a new way. I enjoyed the shifting, melding perspectives, the recurring, regenerative, reimagined themes. The general science fiction horror structure and style. But also why are the characters in literature so blank and deplorable? Bah. Also, big CW vibes. Having a trans main character doesn’t mean you have to include hate crimes.

Pains me to give a Jeanette winterson novel this low of a rating but god I hated so many things about the “present” timeline in this. Victor you are my number one enemy, I’m coming for you bitch.
