![]() For me, there was such an intimate and undeniable connection that I'm just not sure, and I'll be curious to read reviews from readers who haven't read Frankenstein. I have read the book, more than once, and adore it in fact, it's what drew me to this work, and it's actually impossible for me to attempt to figure out what readers who aren't familiar with it will think of Lee's work. I'm struggling with the question of how different readers will react, based on whether they have or haven't read Shelley's original Frankenstein. but the last fourth or so of the book just lost some of the inertia and magic that the earlier portions had had, and it was missed.I should say. There were fewer quiet moments between characters that offered connection and magic, and things became a bit more predictable, and felt a bit too rushed. From moment to moment, I was hooked into the world and anxious for the next turn.Yet, as the pacing picked up, and as the action surged forward, I lost the feeling for some of what had so pulled me into the book. ![]() ![]() Lee's version of Shelley's world had such a wonderful and dreamlike quality that the book was nearly impossible to put down, and I loved the seeming depth of even the simplest of her characterizations. In the beginning, I found this all but intoxicating. ![]()
