This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel
2.0
Pre-reading: I read Frankenstein a lot in school and I didn't love or hate it - no strong feelings really...
I heard good things about this, but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to read it either, but I picked it up and loved the end papers!
Should I be ashamed that my love of endpapers produced stronger feelings in me than the book it was based on? Ah anywho, I'm going to give it a go...
Oh crap, I just saw that this is a "Book One"...why? why is every book a book one?
Post-reading: Definitely a book one. Don't get me wrong...there was adventure and hijinks...but you know he's going somewhere if this is supposed to be a Frankenstein retelling. I won't be along for the journey.
The endpapers are still top notch.
