The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein by Peter Ackroyd
4.0
I have long been a fan of books that explore iconic characters in a new light. Capturing the flavor and cadence of the time period, The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein pulls the reader into the world of London through the eyes of the newly arrived Frankenstein. Quickly establishing the influences that shape his path, the story is engrossing in it pacing. An air of trepidation and dread lingers as Victor begins his exploration of science and the boundaries of the natural and unnatural world.
Building tension as the pace of the story gains momentum, Peter Akroyd leaves you retracing your steps as you reach the end. The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein that makes you reevaluate Victor's twisted path and its implications on the original telling of the tale.
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
