It is somewhat surprising that this was the first time I read this book! It is such a classic that I felt I should read it! Also since it is close to Halloween I thought that a monster book was a fun idea!
To begin with this book is far from most movies and their depictions of the Frankenstein monster! An example being that the monster speaks exceptionally well. In fact he is incredibly intuned with his feelings and is a persuasive orator. The main character is Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster. During the entire book you see him slowly losing control. In away this novel is a study of the human intellect when faced with difficult challenges and our coping mechanisms in times of despair. It plays with your emotions and makes you realize the unkindness of humans.
This book is one that will keep you pondering human nature and all that we do. Shelley portrayed many different traits into every single character!
Good review! Thank you 😊
