This book was one crazy ride. Alphonso Frankenstein, son of Dr. Frankenstein, gets kicked out of the University of Doom (higher education for evil geniuses) and loads of shenanigans follow. There were so many great one-liners in this that I laughed out loud more than a few times. Think comic book hijinks and Wes Anderson quirkiness and that's a pretty good description of how UoD reads. So much fun.
