5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative, Beautifully Written, Mar 6 2004
By Nelson Aspen "Author/Journalist" (Los Angeles & NYC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Father Of Frankenstein (Paperback)
This wonderful novel is instantly engrossing and will captivate readers throughout. An imaginative, fictional take on the life of film director James Whale, the author writes with uncanny objectivity, sensitivity and insight. Its exquisite detail and impact are hidden under the seeming simplicity but manage to ring out, chapter after chapter.

Those familiar with the film version, "Gods and Monsters," will find a new appreciation not only for the story itself but for the filmmakers' loyalty to this great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Father of Frankenstein, July 12 2002
By Ozbriefs "ozbriefs" (Eastmalvern, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Father Of Frankenstein (Paperback)
Christopher Bram does it again with yet another brilliant novel. The depth and the intelligence of this book and his ability to bring the characters so alive shows his ability as a novelist. If you only read one or a couple of books a year make it this one.
Highly Recommended indeed.

3.0 out of 5 stars I have to wonder....., Dec 14 2001
By K. C. Collins (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Father Of Frankenstein (Paperback)
This is a fairly well written fiction about the last days of director James Whale. While it was able to hold my attention I wonder how Mr. Whale would have liked to be remebered as just a old man who's mind had melted away by a stroke, and a bit of a pervert for getting the hots for his very young gardner. While Mr. Whale, in real life, had no problems with anyone knowing his sexual prefrence; Who he really want people remembering him as the non functioning man of his later years? But it does a fine job of showing Whale the artist and truly talented man that he was. I would reoncmend this as a good read, for the informed.
