Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match: A Novel

Product Information

Which is, on the one hand, fair enough maybe, and I’m absolutely not saying it’s not okay for women (real or fictional) to have preferences for particular body types or physical attributes.

There is a line towards the end, direct quote: "You are in the bed of a spoiled, wealthy heiress who has realized her privileged position and will work for the rest of her life to deserve you. The mystery of who Will was had me guessing until the end and I loved the pace at which it was unraveled.This is obviously a re-telling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, only in this version Victor is resurrecting dead bodies to find a husband and partner for his sister Angelika. Angelika’s older brother who is constantly chomping on apples, puffing up his own chest, and evading the pig that is in love with him, was probably my favorite character. Frank-N-Furter, from Rocky Horror, for all its campy musical fun, has, again, resorted to making a man because he doesn’t want to deal with, y’know, tricky little issues like consent. I'm sorry, I genuinely thought I could suspend disbelief enough to find the quirky humor in this but its just too gross for me.

The banter is world-class, and I caught myself laughing out loud and staying up far too late to read just one more page. Her brother is on the verge of marriage and his fiancé Lizzie will be in charge of the Frankenstein family estate. I don’t want to go too far down a gender reversal route, because I think it has limited value and doesn’t account for the nuances of social power dynamics. Everyone just kind of expected him to fall on his knees in rapture at the sight of her, which is an unrealistic expectation to say the least. I shouldn’t have read this and now I truly need to just remember how much I love The Hating Game and ignore all that comes after.Like the Frankenstein's aren't adorable nerds, they're a couple of megalomaniacs with delusions of grandeur and no thought for anything but their own supposed mental superiority and how famous they're gonna be once they reanimate a dead person they've sewn together. I staying up late to finish the novel, which features a new character, Victor Frankenstein's brilliant sister and partner in scientific experimentation, Angelika. com}: For generations, every Frankenstein has found their true love and equal, unlocking lifetimes of blissful wedded adventure. There’s very little here in terms of responsibility for actions and hey, maybe it’s not the best thing to just be bringing random dead people back to life and expecting them to love you for it?
