Absolutely sublime. I've never read anything like this before, and I doubt I'll ever read anything precisely the same again.

It's definitely not a book for the faint of heart, but I would say, if anyone is looking to do some philosophizing about the nature of evil, the nature of people, the nature of science, or whether or not Victor is gay, then don't hesitate to pick this book up.

Absolutely amazing. Definitely a new favorite. So damn fun to talk about and I wish I had more people to discuss it with. Agh.

Moving. Just as if not more horrifying than Twelve Years a Slave. Everyone should read this.
