I thought that Will's disguise was funny. He had red hair, red flushed face, and swollen arms and legs. I can picture Will and his uncomfortable disguise. His sister, Emmy, stated to everyone when they were all staring at Will, "So...which of you geniuses thinks that I look remotely... like him!" This helped Will's uncomfortable situation and everyone laughed.

It was a funny scene where she covered for Will's identity by feigning to have been insulted by the comparison.

That was hilarious! I chuckled out loud at that part. It helped will diffuse the situation, but he was so self conscious already, poor guy!

It not only diffused the situation and belay those rumours, but it made for an interesting funny memorable moment in the book.

That is a very funny , unexpected scene. I just wish Emmy had got more recognition for her bravery.

This funny scene made me long for a more active role for Emmy throughout the book.

I thought it was funny when it said that Drinkwater (aka Frankenstein) forgot to act like a monster (or something like that).
Drinkwater was an interesting character.

I did find Drinkwater to be an intresting character with an amazing past worthy of a prequel.

I ended up getting it last night, thank you!

You could take a lesson in being a little less condescending though ;)
