Finally read it !!! I loved both Frankenstein and the monster, and how we saw human emotions and horror in both of them. Was fun to see all the Young Frankenstein inspo hehe

Wow. Having worked closely with folks who left their country of origin, this hit so hard!

Hi! If you are someone who usually skips introductions or authors notes, I would say this one is worth a read. It is one of my favourites! The author, at the end of the book, explains the reason why he chose to tell this story and talks shortly about some themes!

i guess it was totally not for me 🫡 i found it boring, the MC was bland with no morals, the ending very random lol maybe i wasnt meant to like any of the characters or care for the story? bc that’s what happened

What an amazing book! It took me a bit to get attached bc there’s a lot of characters in the beginning and the pov keeps switching, but after the first part wow i breezed through it, i couldnt stop thinking about the main characters and the story. I came here for the gore and i was certainly not disappointed, some descriptions were very graphic lol Game apart, the themes of fascism and the shit government described in the book are soooo relevant right now, it was such a good read. I wanted to include some quotes on this subject but i read it in french and the english translation is not as powerful imo 😶🌫️ 4.5 and not 5 because of some clichés (it’s from 1999) and SA just for shock value.
