Very dramatic but doesn't really read YA. I read this with my 12 year-old, but I think I enjoyed it more than she did. Elizabeth was a super complex character that I really enjoyed and the writing was compelling. Lost a little steam in its last act and the ending was pretty abrupt, but the trip there was wild and much more fun a read than Shelley's Frankenstein. Highly recommended!
