Third time was the charm. This is a fun, pulpy kids monster book and exactly what I was hoping these would be all along. I think it's easily the best of the bunch so far and my son agrees with me. It's certainly not perfect, but it nails its tone early on and sticks to it throughout, making it a breezy and entertaining read. It's also well-paced, unlike the other two. I'm no longer dreading the rest of these. Bring on the remaining three!

I love the plot twists that these books have. The ONLY thing I could possibly complain about is the author's tendency to rely on the characters being rendered unconscious over and over to further the plot. I couldn't count on both hands how many times multiple characters were knocked unconscious in this book, I feel that it's a lazy way to make the story flow. I do love these books, though!

I'm a little biased, Frankenstein's Monster is my favorite Universal Monster. Like the other 2, we follow Nina, Joe, and Bob on a small town adventure to find and recapture another movie monster. Nothing to write home about other than it's Frankenstein's Monster this time.

So far I’d rank them Wolfman > Dracula > Frankenstein

That’s like how I’d rank the monsters anyway 🤷‍♀️
