Do not be deceived by the cover and the title, which seem to indicate that there is some kind of connection to Frankenstein. I'm not even just talking about bringing the dead back to life. There is nothing in here about the perils of science impinging on nature, or man's responsibility towards nature or anything like that. Perhaps I was overly influenced by the movie "The Bride" starring Sting, and it never occurred to you that this had anything to do with Frankenstein. In that case, read on.The plot was contrived, the characters were not very well-rounded, and there is precious little reason for the hero and heroine to fall in love, except, you know, they're both gorgeous, and it was meant to be. The writing is done well, so at least you're not stumbling over grammatical and spelling errors, and for the price, I really can't complain too much. Except, you know, for expecting some higher literary aim than what this was, which was just the story of a huge misunderstanding keeping two people in love apart emotionally (of course not physically or else there'd be nothing pulling them together!).
