What Did I Just Read? OVERHYPED | Audiobook Review: Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors

Hello all!
Long time no see. I’ve not been inspired to write blog posts this year so far. I thought I would cross-post my review of Cleopatra and Frankenstein – Originally posted on my Bookstagram. I’m mostly active over there these days. Follow me there to keep up with me and my reviews!

The Review:

This book was kind of a waste of time. There’s very little plot and what plot there is felt undeveloped.

The characters are all awful but bland.
Cleo and Frank – meh
The age gap 🤮

Quentin was awful.
Eleanor was super boring.
Zoe was meh – underdeveloped

It truly was 14 hours of ✨ nothing ✨

The animal neglect was just awful. The poor sugar glider 😢 that’s about all the emotion I had during the book. Other than boredom and general horror at some of the violence.

If it wasn’t an audiobook I think I would’ve DNF’d. It dragged a lot. I kept thinking it must get better as it’s so highly rated and loved.

I just don’t understand. There’s nothing special about this book.

Rating: 2 Stars ⭐⭐
