5.0

Amazing, fantastic, perfect in every way. Genuinely perfect. I will never say a bad word against this novel, and if I do, I’ve been replaced. I will write essays, mark my words. And I think when you go into a Frankenstein adaptation, you’re always looking for who the ‘real’ monster is, and Ahmed Saadawi uses this so so perfectly. 10/10, a must read for pretty much anyone and everyone.
