Reviews

More of a Psychological Thriller Really

(3.5 stars)

Although this book does have elements of horror, I believe this is more of a psychological thriller. Its sort of a mix between Dracula and Frankenstein, with slightly stronger leanings toward Frankenstein. I imagine this book caused quite the stir when it was first released. The movie industry again got enough wrong to make it hard to get the book at first, but it is closer than Frankenstein.

Excellent reading

I started listening to another version of this work and voice was too monotone for me. After the first couple of chapters I looked for other versions and came across this one. I found this to be an exellent reading, really clear and expressive and it immensely increased my enjoyment of the book.
