welby 's review for:

Chicano Frankenstein by Daniel A. Olivas
4.5
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Like the original Frankenstein, this book uses a scifi premise to explore some of society's current fears. It's quite thought provoking, and written in a tone that could feel like your amongst friends for much of it, but still allows for the tension of the story.
