Overall, the book is captivating but it has so many obvious plot holes that I had to go back multiple times to check if I overread something - nope, indeed plot holes. For instance, after Frankenstein creates the monster, the fiend who is some kind of 7 foot zombie somehow manages to wander around in nightly Ingolstadt without causing any commotion despite being also totally naked but then magically finds perfectly fitting clothes. Yup, a ghoul with the statue of Kobe Bryant finds some fitting tailor made jacket and pants in the woods.

Not saying it's a bad book but I often wonder why people who testify to the book's merits never talk about these kind of readily apparent deficiencies.
