I just bought the third book in the series but I don't own any others. Can you read them out of order or do you have to read them chronologically to understand what's going on?

You are welcome Mary.....weird that he has 2 threads on same subject!!!
Oh sorry Sam I had not looked at your profile......I have 2 separate posts on Frankenstein in my in box here....maybe the app duplicated it
Oh that alright, its an honest mistake. It must, I hate malfunction.
It's no big deal....Mary was just confused where her comment went.....she and I agree....you need to read the Frankenstein books in order!!!:D
Very weird Sam....now I have 3 Frankenstein threads under your name !!! Lol
LOL Something is getting all scewed around today
I just finished the 5th book, did all 5 in a row and I have to say, very underwhelmed. So little effort went into the Victor character(s), and I thought they could have easily been the most interesting part of the books. There were some fun characters however, just thought that there should have been more focus on Frankenstein. I could go on, but don't want to put out too many spoilers.
So, I am conflicted. Should I continue the series at book 4 and 5? I was so underwhelmed by book 3, I didn't like it that much, and I have heard horrible things about books 4 and 5. Are they worth reading?
I am glad I read all the books.....but the series is not as good as other books by DK..... The characters in Frankenstein kept me interested

If you didn't like book three, you are not likely to enjoy books 4 and 5. I liked book 3 myself because I love Jocko!
I agree.....the 1st 2 books are good but then it just fell apart story wise for me.... David I guess u should stop if u didn't like book 3.....try another DK book

There was such a long and much anticipated wait for book 3 after books 1 & 2 and many readers had high expectations. I am worried about the same thing happening when/if Book 3 of the Christopher Snow series is finally published, because that has been even more hyped up with anticipation and high expectations. I guess we'll see.
The Frankenstein Series also had an issue where there was only going to be the 3 books and then Koontz got a contract for 7. The reception for follow up books wasn't as expected and there ended up being 5. It was pretty crazy as I recall.
Book 5 was released straight to paperback rather than hardcover which frustrated book collectors who had been collecting the hardcover editions.
You are right Dustin....the TV series on the books was not well received by Dean and he took himself off the show....he went on with the books but they really were not as good as the 1st two....I don't think the same thing would happen in the Chris Snow story because he tied it into Watchers and that is seriously cool !!!
I love all the Frankenstein books but like Dustin I love Jocko!! I didn't care for the first Snow book but I loved the second. I hope the third is good. I'm trying not to have high expectations.
