Hi!

I was writing a review of Choke for my website when I realized there are some references to Frankenstein in the story.

- The name of Victor (Frankenstein).

- The XVIII century theme park. (ok, that's a lousy one, Mary Shelley was victorian XIX, a century later).

- The gathering of heroes to kill the monster at the end of the book.

maybe just coincidences, maybe a postmodern Prometheum. what do you think?

Post-Modern Prometheus, not Prometheum. I definitely think it's just coincidences, and not very strong ones, either. Sorry... What's your website though?

sorry for my crappy English, and thanks for the correction. I'm not an English speaker and I need to improve it! Smile Big

my website is private and just for a bunch of friends, so I'm not writing for a newspaper or book review site. I just noticed that coincidences when posting my review on the book and wanted to know if maybe someone else thought about that.

now I know it was just my imagination running wild and I can stop looking for more resemblances and focus on his next book.

thanks for your answer!
