Title: An engrossing book that is not always easy to handle
Review: I read this for 11th grade english and was not thrilled with having to read it because I wanted more Shakespeare. However I did read this book and was struck at how many themes in it were applicable to the moral battles being fought today. Stem-cell research, cloning, designer babies, etc... All of this was being touched on by an author who couldn't ever dream how true her prose might ring. My experience with this book may be distorted because when you read a book with a guide (such as a teacher) your opinions become mingled with your teachers. The character of Victor is fascinating but he is one that you will hurt deeply for. He does so many things that will repulse you and he takes so little responsibilities for his creation and the consquences that will spring from it. Read it and soak up the story.
