I'm done
Dean Koontz's Frankenstein - Part 1 : Prodigal Son . It was very good. I like the way he did the Frankenstein idea. Its based in the current time, but the actual traditional story of Frankenstein has already taken place. Now, 200 years later, Frankenstein's monster has found peace in himslef, but is terrified to discover that his maker is still alive too. How is this possible. You see the side effects of Frankensteins new experiments and all that is going wrong with the evil science. It seems the monster has become human, and the human has become a monster. 200 years can change a person. The police are caught up in a bunch of grusome murders, and two dectectives will be pulled into the unreal terror that is going on in their city.
Sound interesting? If it doesen't, its because I suck at explaining stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> But its a great book. Probably my favorite, or second favorite Dean Koontz book so far (haven't read too much yet).
Took me ten days to read. At about 47 pages per day. I have the second book, though I need to read something els before I move on to others. The third and final part of
Dean Koontz's Frankenstein will be out this summer (so long a wait <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> ).
The book I have to read right now is
The Mysterious Island , by Joules Verne. You may not know this french writer, but you must know some of his stories. Others of his include
20 000 Leagues Under the Sea and
Around the World in 80 Days and
Journey to the Center of the Earth and
From the Earth to the Moon . Any ring a bell? 20 000 Under should, being a very popular story. Its facinate that he wrote all this Sci-Fi stuff in the late-1800s <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> . Submarines were not even invented yet!
He and H.G. Wells are my heros, for writing Sci-Fi and having great ideas in that subject waaaay before other people were even close to imagining it. Wells was writing even more far-out stuff than Verne at the
beginning of the 1800s!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" />
War of the Worlds ,
The Invisible Man ,
A Modern Utopia , etc. Wow.
Killerzzz
