Kenneth Oppel has taken the Frankenstein legend and written the backstory. So this is an explanation of who Victor Frankenstein was, and what events in his teen years explain the man whom he will become - the one able to create the legendary Frankenstein's monster. The story is dark and Victorian, full of suppressed emotions, high ideals, and passionate challenges. In other words - a hoot to read and enjoy. I hope Oppel makes this a series.
