Going through the reviews I really feel people were to hard on this book. I loved the whole Mary Shelly vibe. I enjoyed the story very much. I did not care much for the romance aspect I did feel that the author wrote it as a 15 year old girl. Other then that I did like this book.

Mostly this book made me want to reread Possession by A.S. Byatt, which is a much better literary historical fiction book that jumps between contemporary and historical periods. This one had science aspects that were really poorly executed, and for such a slim novel, the pacing was not great and the language was not economical. I really really wanted to like it because of how much I like Mary Shelley, but no dice.
