Mrs. Kelly's Monster

While reading Mrs. Kelly's Monster by John Franklin, I was on my toes and really felt as if I was in the operating room with Dr. Ducker. I felt nervous with each "pop". One of the writing techniques that I thought worked really well and put things into perspective was the use of time. I found it to be very effective to see how long each step of the operation really took. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed at the end. I had really high hopes for Mrs. Kelly to defeat the monster taking over her brain but it was clear that Dr. Ducker did everything possible to help save her life. It was definitely an interesting profile to read because it showed Dr. Ducker's perspective as well as a little bit of Mrs. Kelly's.
