This Dark Endeavour by Kenneth Oppel

3.0

Depicted as a prequel, the novel brought to light the story of Frankenstein's personality and the characters that are so closely linked to the original work. The intricate details that the author points into the characters are excellent, but unfortunately did not bring me back into the Frankenstein World that I loved in the original. The plot had ups and downs which caused the books to bring an array of emotions that did not suffice the original work. Perhaps it is just me, who knows, but I will be definitely reading the second novel in high hopes that it will help me love the first book a little more.
