Poor Things

 

I read this over fifteen years ago and with the movie out I decided to revisit it. The book was pretty fun. It's about Bella, a woman who has been revived from death. It concerns unreliable narrators. What Bella says later in the book doesn't coincide with what the first narrator said. One of the faults with the first narrator is that he's in love with her and frankly is jealous of the man who gets her. There's a definite sense of humor in the book especially with the book she later writes. I can see this on the screen and imagine it would be a visual treat. The plot may be borrowing off Frankenstein but it's really unique on its own.
