A review by notesofacrocodile
Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi

challenging dark mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

a group of characters whom we follow and just so much happening. i thought the premise itself was very interesting and the book did not disappoint. i do however think that i will reread this book in the future because i want to absorb even more, about the plot and the questions it poses. i enjoyed following the threads of all the characters; none of them made me feel bored or made me want to skim through. there's also a lot of contemporary relevance to be found in the happenings and trajectories of this book.
