wasn't quite my cup of tea. it reminded me of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, but the 'monster' was not a sympathetic character. if you read Frankenstein for the Sci-Fi, it was probably comparable, but if you read it for the humanity, it was quite lacking. the first part was interesting, when all the people are trying to figure out why he keeps his face hidden, but also a bit lackluster because you already know why from the title of the book.
