10-22-09 Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein by Dean Koontz – Fiction

5 – This was an incredible trilogy.  Koontz really did well adapting a very familiar story into a new tale.  The basic premise is that neither Victor Frankenstein nor his monster died in the arctic but both believed the other perished.  200 years later the monster again meets his master.  By the way, I think I’m going to embark on a Koontz kick (I’ll be reading the rest of the Odd series) and it’s all Patrick’s fault.  Koontz really knows how to write an engaging tale with characters that are truly enjoyable whether they are good or bad.  You want to know all about them and truly yearn to know what happens next.  If you pick up the first book in this trilogy, Prodigal Son, just go ahead and pick up the other two because there are absolute cliff hangers at the ends of the first two books.  In honor of Halloween, pick these up and enjoy.
