Took me forever to finish this book on the Danish expedition to Yemen in the 1760s, but I have made faster progress on the next book.
Never seen the Triffids movie but read the book a couple of times.

Dalton brought a “meanness” to his fighting. Pretty brutal, and violent in fights. I like his Bond.

Frankenstein was given life and — at his heart — decent creature but was never guided and instantly feared.
Also the bride of Frankenstein was given life to be Frankie’s girlfriend… She comes to life, looks at him and just screams. Built with good intentions but when she’s given life, she does not behave as expected.
