Helpful Score: 2

This was much better than I expected. I read the original Shelley Frankenstein novel about a month before I read this, so it added to the enjoyment.

This book takes place 200 years after Shelley's novel. A serial killer called "The Surgeon" has the city of New Orleans gripped in fear. His M.O. includes stealing body parts. Frankenstein's creature, now in hiding at a Monastery half way across the world, is called by an old acquaintance to come to New Orleans and determine if his creator, Victor Frankenstein, is somehow still alive and again performing his grisly experiments.

A very good sequel/reimagining of the original novel's story. Obviously, this is the first in a series, so expect an open ended finale.
