This is an interesting work, very straightforwardly Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, but with the narrative confined to journal entries penned, ostensibly, by the mad doctor. Beautiful, evocative pen sketches, lovely, age-stained design. The medium manages, however, always to fall short of allowing you to become truly involved with the story or characters. Just as reading the diary of a stranger would be, the senstaion is of reading a story from which one is very distantly removed- there is no immediacy to it. Otherwise, a very nice book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The well-meaning doctor who assembles a creature from human parts records the tragic, gruesome consequences of his creation. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

While we are removed from the "action" by reading the story in the mode of a journal, there is still a feeling of intimacy here. The words are written artfully to convey Victor's emotions. And reading something written in cursive, in journal format, and having to strain to see the words in parts that are often dark and scribbly, all lends to a feeling of understanding Victor and his emotions. As a note, the book also includes the text in an addendum for those who can't read cursive (which I am assuming most younger people would need.) It is simply typed in blocks and would not be the same thing as reading the book in its intended form. ( )
