FRANKENSTEIN’S BRIDE (FINISHED 6/29)
REVIEW: This book included an original copy of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which I read first, in order to remind myself of the story. I love the formal language used in those times, and this gothic classic as it is narrated in letter and voice is eerily real.
Frankenstein's Bride by Hilary Bailey, was rather disappointing. While she remained true to the formal language, the beginning is somewhat fragmented, as if started in the middle of a story. There are a few details that are not consistent with the original Frankenstein tale. All in all, though, it was a good effort on the part of Bailey to play "what if..." with the tale of Frankenstein.
THE TIPPING POINT (FINISHED THIS MORNING):
REVIEW: Gladwell makes a case for one little thought, idea or concept being able to "tip" a situation or product toward a different direction. His writing style is understandable, and he places all the notes and supporting references in the back of the book, so as not to interrupt the rhythm of reading. This was am excellent book.
