My main problems with these books are1. the authors don't seem that knowledgeable about the original movies, and 2. they stray off into territories that have nothing to do with the movies (e.g., zombies, Jack the Ripper, silent and early talkie German film characters, Henry Frankenstein inexplicably a murderous lunatic whose main goal seems to be enslaving womankind, etc.). In my opinion, these books should be literary adaptations of movies that Universal might actually have made. And they should remain true to those original films.
