“I’m not Frankenstein’s monster ! I don’t want to become a monster !”

Review : I loved this book . It gave me the same thrill I got the first time I read a Michael Crichton novel . I should probably talk more about Michael Crichton on this blog in the future . Hideaki has the ability to make you feel like everything that’s happening in this book is not only possible but that it is already happening . If you’re looking for a Frankenstein story with slight demonic possession vibes mixed with a medical drama , I’d say give it a read .
