The village of Frankenstein is living in peace, they have defeated the monster and Henry Frankenstein is on the run. However the villagers haven't counted on Frankenstein's aunt who is determined to clean up the castle and the family name, she may just need a monster to help her...Have you ever had a daft conversation that makes you laugh and every statement just makes you laugh more? This book is that conversation in print. Daft, stupid and crazy loaded on crazy - perfect Saturday morning reading with a cup of tea!
The writing is great, full of fabulous description and phrases, and with my teaching head on, great gothic elements!
Great work of literature? Nah! Fun, witty read? Yup!
"It was a damp night with low clouds racing across the sky, the thunder rumbling but still in the distance. Lightning lit up the whole sky with a flashing breathless blue light, the laps of thunder apparently coming from on high and then in long cracking tumbling waves descending into a rumbling mumbling rolling on the horizon, the rain pouring down, rustling and rattling in the undergrowth round the castle. A sharp bluish-white light shone out of the narrow windows in the laboratory tower."
