"The first science fiction novel." So much of it is good, but it's hard for a modern reader to dig in, and I read a lot of classics. Still: defining in so many ways.

This is my third time reading Frankenstein, and it will never cease to amaze me. It is an incredible book in every way and everyone should read it at least once in their life.

and the worst father of the year award goes to…!
yeah so i think i would have rated this 5 stars if not for the incest. unfortunately it did get extremely distracting, especially during the last bit of the book (he legit would talk about elizabeth being his cousin/sister in every other fucking sentence). frankenstein’s monster had the best chapters, his account & ending monologue were great. i loved the themes and unreliable narration.

Victor Frankenstein could’ve avoided a lot of the misery he suffered had he just listened to the creation and shown empathy instead of whining about his own suffering.
