The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
2.0
January 8, 2015. That is when I added Rick Yancey's The Monstrumologist to my reading list. It has sat there for literally 6 years. I read books of questionable merit and I am in no hurry to do it! Read as part of my 2021 Mount TBR Challenge.
So my thoughts about this book, Imagine if you will: Sheldon Cooper decided to time travel back to the Victorian United Sates, take up the study of monsters, and take in a former assistance child (who he may or may not have had a hand in causing the death of the boy's parents.) as his ward. He goes on to treat this 12 year old child just like he would treat Leonard. That is the plot of this book. Did I enjoy the book? Sort of; in the same way I enjoyed The Big Bang Theory even though I never understood why no ever punched Sheldon in the throat. (although come to think about it, Penny did punch Sheldon in the nose in the episode "The Precious Fragmentation.") Will I be continuing on in the series..... I'm not sure, but am leaning towards doubtful. I really disliked Dr. Sheldon Cooper, I mean Pellinore Warthrop.
