4.0

Highly reminiscent of Frankenstein, the Picture of Dorian Gray, and the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Although the essence of the plot is similar, it has a markedly more comedic air as opposed to Frankenstein’s tragedy, Dorian Gray’s wittily twisted morality, and Jekyll & Hyde’s murder mystery feel. Even if it followed the standard “person (usually a scientist) comes across something contrary to the laws of nature and carnage ensues” plot formula, I always enjoy seeing new interpretations by different authors
