I'm reading it right now and think its great. The monster in print is completely opposite from the one on film, virtually an amalgam of Spider-Man and Peter Parker with his enhanced strength, ability to climb sheer cliffs and run "with the swiftness if lightning" and learn to speak, read, and write by watching others through a crack in the wall. And when he doesn't get what he wants Frankenstein's "fiendish adversary" is one of the most vicious in literature.
