3.0

This was an interesting book unlike any other I've read before. Reimagining Frankenstein has been done multiple times before of course, but this was an original take that used the familiar tale as a metaphor for the current political climate - both in the USA and elsewhere. The characters were realistic and interesting, the plot was as believable as this futuristic sci-fi/fantasy world could make it, and the ending was satisfying and ever-so-slightly open-ended, leaving you wondering what happens next!
