      A modern, feminine retelling of Frankenstein. I enjoy Camille DeAngelis’s storytelling—I immediately read Mary Modern after finishing Bones & All. I found the novel compelling and my only complaint was that I wanted to know more about Lucy’s future.
    • 3/5
      This was an interesting look at cloning, but it also had themes that delved into family and loss. I loved the way the author portrayed Mary and her acclimation to the modern world. There were twists to the plot that I found really interesting. I really liked that it explored the humanity of the characters. Each character was flawed and a variety of relationships were explored. Lucy and Gray had to deal with their problems and the baby that was not meant to be. Mary had to come to terms with her granddaughter and her feelings of being cloned. As Mary explores the new world, new relationships form and a new set of complications occur for all the characters. In the end, I did enjoy the story and it left me with more to think about.
    • 4/5
      I almost put this book down after the first few chapters because I wasn't enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Once Mary is "born" the book became much more interesting. I loved that the house had secret passages and all the old things that were left behind by the ancestors. I actually did not predict some of the twists that were revealed near the end of the book, though others who read this before me said it was predicable. I did not care for the political bits and all the discussion in the beginning about the science of cloning, but this was otherwise a pretty good book that I couldn't put down once it finally caught my interest.

      Lucy Morrigan, just like her deceased father, is a genetic researcher specializing in cloning. When Lucy and her boyfriend Gray have difficulty conceiving the baby Lucy so desperately wants, things take a bizarre turn. This is a good book with an intriguing storyline and would have been a great book with another 100 pages at least.
    • 3/5
      Such an interesting premise, but the protagonist was unlikable and nothing much really happened.
    • 1/5
      I was so irritated with the author by the time this was over! Why didn't Lucy try a simpler procedure? why was she so stupid around Mary -- never ask any of the questions she had earlier? who were those 2 young boys? why was Megan so nasty? I won't bore you with more. Just watch, this will be made into a (bad) movie.
