Quite a gripping read! Some fun twists and turns on the Frankenstein canon and some quite interesting villains to boot. The Doctor and Rose were delightfully written. Overall, an excellent bit of horror Who with just enough wit and comedy to lighten the mood at turns.

Really enjoyed this one. Captures 9 and Rose really well, with a strong story surrounding “Frankenstein’s Monster”. There’s a lot of heart to it, and it really captures Rose very well, keeping her humane, understanding and ultimately the Doctor’s emotional support.
