Lost Souls- Frankenstein by Dean Koontz 350pp


This is book four in a series.
If you like the horror/crime genre and are tired of vampires, this is the series for you.
Set in New Orleans:
Victor Frankenstein has keep himself alive for over 200+ years and wants to take over the world with the perfect human. Of course the perfect human is created by him. These new humans are created by current technology and do have some flaws. They tend to become serial killers. This involves local police trying to solve crimes and the original Frankenstein Monster who is still alive.
Koontz does a great job of continuing the saga of Frankenstein. The writing style has plenty of good dialog and internal thoughts by the characters. This gives the reader great perspective into the actions and motivations of the characters.
I have listened to this on my iPod through our library collection.
We have all the titles starting with book one on our Overdrive site.
Note: this was such a good book- that Prodigal Son (book 1) was selected as a 2011 book discussion pick at DR.
