The way every adaptation of this book completely missed the point is actually heartbreaking.

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced

While the theme and subject are timeless, insightful and powerful, the style struck me as a bit dated compared to other works of the same period. 
That makes the book slightly less entertaining than I thought; despite that, I was moved by many a line and the read was certainly interesting. Do read this classic!

A brilliant classic with lots to ponder and definitely worth reading. It is, however, quite intense in theme and not a casual read.

really enjoyed, truly terrifying, Gothic, and great use of Romantic themes. Love the Frankenstein and Prometheus parallels.
