Hideous Love: The Story of the Girl Who Wrote Frankenstein by Stephanie Hemphill
2.0
What I Did Like:
+This reads like the diary of a teenager in the 1800s. It’s an interesting historical fiction piece that brings a light to the struggles of another time. I could see using this in a classroom when studying Frankenstein to give it another dimension and set up the world.
+Quick read. This one is already short and moves even faster because of the appearance of prose. Therefore, it doesn’t take long to move through the timeline and get the full picture.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of diary-style stories that capture the essence of life in other time periods will enjoy this one.
My Rating: 2 Stars
For me the attempt at verse fell flat, which made the entire novel feel like a gimmick.
