Well, I suppose the book is OK, if you want to read a book very much like Frankenstein. In fact, this book is EXACTLY like Frankenstein. Mordenheim and Frankestein - in addition to having similiar last names - both even have the same first name, Victor. The book became a little tedious for me because I just found so much seemed stolen - he even creates a "man" out of dead criminals and brings it to life by the use of lightning - come on!
