   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) IheartYA | Feb 27, 2019 |  While, I did not feel like the bio-mechanical aspect was the strongest, it was still present and good. There were enough elements of bio-mechanical to make me pleased. Yet, I hope to see it featured more in the second book. Regarding the characters; Lizzie was strong. There is nothing wrong with strong women characters. Additionally, there is a romantic spark but I am not sure yet how I feel about it. Overall, the story while interesting was slow to pick up any speed. It did the further I got into the story but it still stayed steady until the end. Again, here is hoping that book two moves faster. This book will appeal to the younger adult audience. (  ) Cherylk | Feb 3, 2019 | I am definitely disappointed in the ending, but the majority of the book was awesome. #overdrive #audiobook #punkrocklibrarian ( ) KWadyko | May 4, 2018 | Elizabeth Lavenza is the first female medical student at Ingold Academy of Medicine and Bio-Mechanical Sciences , a college in England whose professors are not overly welcoming and especially not to Elizabeth. She comes across a Bio-Mechanical, a human who has been reanimated, and he seems quite different from the others like him. After spending quite a lot of time with him and using a magnetometer of her own design on him, he develops coherent speech and she starts to find out information that can put both of their lives in serious danger. Intriguing ideas and lots of action make for one very enjoyable read. I think it will be flying off my classroom shelf. ( ) JRlibrary | Apr 30, 2018 | *A woman in a field dominated by men in the Victorian era. Was also mechanical genius. Wanted to be taken seriously. Resolved by blackmail and change of venue. *A star pupil murdered turned into mechanical zombie. Or supposed to be. But somehow retained high cognitive function as well as emotional switch. Can't figure out how. Even to the end. *Since bio-mechanicals were supposed to be little more than mindless bodies but still have biological functions. *How did Victor then become that cognizant? Is it possible that Victor may have been cardiac-dead but not brain-dead when they performed the bio-mechanical procedure? *Sinister school heads out to control the empire by making Queen Victoria a brainless bio-mechanical under their control. Good plot-story but the weaving with the other arcs were kind of this is going to go this way... oh, wait, stop... this needs to happen and it goes this way... turn its head around... *Reader is confused but the narrative is still good, if you know what I mean. *But, you might also be confused on why I am confused and had a lot of not-good things to say but still liked the story somewhat.  ) Ayanami_Faerudo | Mar 9, 2018 | no reviews | add a review

HTML: When Elizabeth Lavenza enrolled at Ingold as its first female medical student, she knew she wouldn't have an easy time. From class demands to being an outsider among her male cohorts, she'll have to go above and beyond to prove herself. So when she stumbles across what appears to be a faulty Bio-Mechanicalâ??one of the mechanized cadavers created to service the schoolâ??she jumps at the chance to fix it and get ahead in the program. Only this Bio-Mechanical isn't like the others. Where they are usually empty-minded and perfectly obedient, this one seems to have thoughts, feelings...and self-awareness. Soon Elizabeth realizes that it is Victor Frankensteinâ??a former student who died under mysterious circumstances. Victor, it seems, still has a spark of human intelligence inside him, along with memories of things he discovered before his untimely death...and a suspicion that he was murdered to keep that information from getting out. Suddenly Elizabeth finds herself intertwined in dark secrets and sabotage that puts her life, and the lives of Victor and their friends, in danger. But Elizabeth's determined to succeedâ??even if that means fighting an enemy who threatens the entire British No library descriptions found. |
