Acerca de esta escucha

Winner of the Whitbread Novel Award and the Guardian Fiction Prize

A life without freedom to choose is not worth having.

Godwin Baxter's scientific ambition to create the perfect companion is realized when he finds the drowned body of the beautiful Bella, who he brings back to life in a Frankenstein-esque feat. But his dream is thwarted by Dr. Archibald McCandless's jealous love for his creation...

But what does Bella think?

This story of true love and scientific daring whirls the listeners from the private operating-theatres of late-Victorian Glasgow through aristocratic casinos, low-life Alexandria and a Parisian bordello, reaching an interrupted climax in a Scottish church.

'A magnificently brisk, funny, dirty, brainy book' London Review of Books

'Visionary, ornate and outrageous' The Independent

'Witty and delightfully written' New York Times

'A brilliant marriage of technique, intelligence, and art.' Kirkus Reviews

I found this book because I don’t think I will get to see the movie. I have enjoyed the book. I want to know if it’s fiction or nonfiction but do not know. It takes twists I did not expect which is rare for me. I love that they have a female and male voice. It helps to know who is speaking. The book is no where near what I was expecting from the trailer to the movie. The book is way better than I feel the movie can be. Spoiler alert: it gives off “Fight Club” vibes that is funny in how they twisted it.

Fiction or Nonfiction I must know!

I just didn’t care for the story line much. Although it highlighted the civilization and its mores , this story left me flat

The narration was superb

unpredictable with twists throughout the story...interesting...a good feminist work of fiction...has a specific audience I think

different from movie, but that's OK

I got through it but found this book disappointing. Perhaps a second read will bring more out. The movie must take a lot of liberties as the book is not too amusing. There is a dark side which is somewhat interesting. Your mileage may vary.

Not Particularly Great

Structurally different from the movie, this is a fun listen. The narrative devices are not new, but effective for this story.

Fun

The story was interesting, but it was hard to follow in the beginning and the end of the book.

It was an interesting story…
