Wh...Thanks for stopping by my Frankenstein musings. When I got the recommendation for this book from a friend, this is the sort of book I expected it to be. He's very into thematic books that mix genre conventions in complicated ways, something I'm slightly less excited about but still really curious. Unlike the other commenters, your review actually made me sort of excited -- it's been awhile since I read a fiction book that stretched my brain and I feel like this one might do it.Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)http://sophisticateddorkiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-71769677205666912232009-09-11T12:17:46.499-05:002009-09-11T12:17:46.499-05:00I haven't heard of this one at all, but it sou...I haven't heard of this one at all, but it sounds like something I would love!

And "like torture" is a good way to say it. Especially those first hundred or so pages.<br /><br />DesLily, it's disappointing that it couldn't be something other than what it was. I still wish someone would write a book based on this premise. I think if a reader has the patience to push on, then this one can be appreciated. And I've seen good reviews of this in various places. It's really hard to describe what the style is like.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-57295825486467572042009-09-10T11:03:05.251-05:002009-09-10T11:03:05.251-05:00Hi, I stumbled across your blog and found it very ...Hi, I stumbled across your blog and found it very inspirational.
