A review by pheebsnez
Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson

2.75

complicated feelings on this one tbh. i picked it up because i love frankenstein and by extension mary shelley, and the parts with her were my favorite bits, but overall it was too philosophical for my tastes (especially for a subject matter i already have pretty strong thoughts on). there were also parts of the portrayal of the trans character that didn’t sit well with me even though its clear the author had good intentions overall. 

i will say the writing was definitely a strong point, a pull quote on the back of my copy called it lyrical and i think that’s a pretty apt description. 

all in all i feel like i’m gonna have to let this one sit with me a bit.
