Dean Koontz FRANENSTIEN/LOST SOULS is a fiction novel. It is published in the United States by Bantam Books, an imprint of The Random House Publishing Group, a division of Random House, Inc., New York. Copyright 2010 by Dean Koontz. 350 pages. Dean Koontz always gives his readers a great product, no matter what book you read, you will enjoy it and the same goes for the book I read called FRANKENSTIEN/lost souls. This book is the fourth in a five-book series. The entire series is FRANKENSTIEN/Prodigal Son, FRANKENSTIEN/City of Night, FRANKENSTIEN/Dead and Alive, FRANKENSTIEN/Lost Souls, and FRANKENSTIEN/Prodigal Son. As you read the book you become involved in the plot and characters. The characters in this story are Deucalion (created by Victor Helios Frankenstein), Victor Helios Frankenstein, Michael Maddison, Carson O'Conner, Erika, Jonathan Harker, Werner, Jocko, Jelly Biggs, Randal Six and brother Salvatore (who is The Best friend of Deucalion). Dean Koontz created this book series because he thought it was time to update the Frankenstein myth to fit the modern day. He was eleven years old when he first saw the original Frankenstein film, created by Mary Shelley. The original film series set the tone for about twenty years later, as he would wake up scared every night due to explicit nightmares of Frankenstein. If you look at the story of Frankenstein, there is no story that matches the original story, teachers in schools have their version, libraries have their version and then there is the fallout from the media. This is why Dean Koontz wanted to bring Frankenstein back to life and tell his version of the story, with today's touch and technology...... middle of paper......s, Erika ( who is Victor's fifth wife) and a couple of people from the city hospital. As with most Dean Koontz novels, the beginning interests you and as you get deeper into the book you are captivated by the story and as you progress, things change and you start to wonder where it's going and when you'll get to the end of the book everything comes together, and then what happens is the last page leaves you with a question of "will there be another book in this series?" that Dean Koontz wrote another great story. It's fun and at the same time full of mystery. He spends a lot of time describing the scenes, plot, and feelings behind all the characters he uses for his stories. I highly recommend this book to a friend and/or colleague. This review was written by Dave E. Davidson. CarrubbaUMN 21018 NOV 2013
