Summary:

Young Doctor Frankenstein is an ambitious scientist looking to share his talent with the world. He decides to attempt the unthinkable, to create the “ultimate” living being from dead body parts from a graveyard. After stealing the premiere specimens of each body part, he assembles and brings to life the “Frankenstein Monster.” Though naturally loving and equipped with superhuman strength, he is rejected by both his owner and the rest of society. The monster does not take this kindly, and the Doctor must decide what to do about it before it is too late! Join a variety of distinctive characters in this classic sci-fi novel and immerse yourself in a shower of adventure and horror.

Out of five, I'd give this book five stars!
