I didn't expect much from this book, but I actually enjoyed it, I think. Not sure
Olivas takes the original Frankenstein story and updates it to talk about modern problems in America.
The first Frankenstein book was about the main character running away from his own personal creation. It was a problem for one man. But in Chicano Frankenstein, the problem is bigger, it's about the whole system or society making the monster.
Mary Shelley's creature was an outsider who thought deeply. Olivas's creature is a simple symbol for immigrants.
The book shows that America needs them for work, but also dislikes them. This is the idea of the book, I believe.
Some people might say the message is too quick or simple, and it doesn't have the deep. But I believe Olivas wanted to show today's politics very clearly and strongly, in a very open way.
