Rebuilding Frankenstein
Customer: “Can you help me to find the ‘Frankenstein’ trilogy by James Patterson?”
Me: “Sir, I think maybe you mean Dean Koontz.”
Customer: “No. Patterson wrote it.”
Me: “Okay, one moment; let me get that for you.”
(I return with the first book of Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein trilogy).)
Me: “Is this what you wanted?”
Customer: “Yeah. That’s the one. I need the fourth book in the trilogy.”
Me: “I believe there are only three books in the trilogy.”
Customer: “No, I read online. There are four.”
Me: “All right. One minute, please.”
(I return with the third book in the trilogy.)
Me: “Is this what you needed?”
Customer: “Yeah. That’s it. Have you read these?”
Me: “Yes I have. I thought they were a wonderful re-imagining of Mary Shelley. I really enjoyed Koontz’s ideas about the monster.”
Customer: “Yeah but he didn’t even put Frankenstein in the books. Just some scientist guy. What kind of a name is Victor anyway?”
