This is actually quite a good read!!! The basis for the story is that Victor Frankenstein is a Real Doctor who creates a living being from dead, brought to him by London graverobbers. He later meets up with Percy and Mary Shelley, Lord Byron and his doctor Polidori and travels with them on The Trip To Geneva and tells ghost stories in a haunted castle during a storm. On his return back to London - leaving the others to continue on to Italy - he then is joined later by Dr Polidori........ with a rather interesting twist on the tale right at the very end!!!
Reasonably entertaining.

It was an interesting book worth reading! The style was very old-fashioned as to mark the era when electricity was a new wonder. I like the plot twist and the "real" characters, although the author had taken some liberties with Mr. Shelley and his wives.

Right after I finished reading this casebook, I just had to start Shelley's Frankenstein. :) It's been too many years since I read it.

Oho, I'm late ...
just found this book at home on top of a pile of books (how surprising that I didn't notice there was 1 extra book) and remembered I never wrote it came from Messukeskus to our home.

Will try to find the time to read it, no idea how fast though.
