  Better Than Expected! Havig seen Frankenstein movies over the years, the book's main plot was an actual surprise, and included more subtle depth than expected. Writing style was slow at times, but ended up looking forward to each new increment, especially during the last 10 or so. Glad I read it. I posted this on 15 March 2010
