This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

A wonderfully dark gothic twist on the beginnings of Victor Frankenstein One thing about Oppel he never writes down to his readers. He understands that his teen readers can handle the darker aspects of life. The characters are richly created and stay true to Mary Shelley's creations. I love the fact that one of the main characters was Polidori and he lived on Wollstonecraft drive. If you know of the history of the writing of Frankenstein you will get why this is fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this fascinating tale even though I very much disliked Victor (which is the point as well) Immediately downloaded the second book as soon as I finished this tale as I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. Highly recommend this for anyone 13 plus.
