This was a riveting read; an extremely well written book. Kasper is young man who, for his entire life, has been judged by his appearance. He's been cast away from society, shunned and ridiculed and operated on time after time by unscrupulous doctors with the promise of a new face.
Kasper didn't want to be handsome, he just wanted to be normal, but realising this would never happen he decided to end his pathetic life. He couldn't even do that right, and found himself at the hands of a disgraced doctor. The doctor gave him a new face before the police captured him for illegal practise.
Kasper, with a new face, is again alone - but strikingly handsome. He's unused to women, has no finesse and is by all accounts a gorgeous sex manic who needs taming.
Expect tears of both laughter and sadness as Kasper journey's through life. A deeply moving ending that played on my mind long after I put the book down.

Dr. Frankenstein's Gift to Womankind is what happens when a young man, so full of pain that he no longer wants to go on living, is given the gift of beauty. Disfigured outcast Kaspar fails a suicide attempt and finds himself in the care of the gifted Dr. Hoffman. Gradually, Kaspar's looks and life are changed - drastically. No longer is he shunned by society, but admired for his physical beauty and embraced for his talents. Kaspar's amorous adventures are many, providing increasing complications to an already fast-paced life.
Never predictable, this story is at times alternately humorous and dark, interwoven with both the joys of life and its attendant sorrows.

A wild, touching, mad-cap story of plastic surgery, sex, love and Frankenstein science. I stumbled across this book with no preconceptions, read the first chapter and couldn't stop laughing. Then I became absorbed in a bizarre but compelling world of minor celebrities, religious cults and mad professors. A daft, thoughtful, entertaining book. Recommended.
