kerstincullen 's review for:

Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson
3.0

I am not sure how to rate this. I loved most of it (Mary Shelly and company, the writing, a lot of the themes). However like a lot of the other reviewers I felt the book treated the transgender character poorly (two dimensional, no agency, not to mention lots of weird traumatic stuff that was only included to make the character suffer), and by the end may even been anti-trans in a dogwhistle sort of way (but almost ambiguously enough I can give the author the benefit of the doubt that she's just misguided?).

I do recommend this book, just with a giant caveat.
