I begun to read this book about possibly 3 years ago yet I never finished it. So, here I am, 3 years later rereading the whole thing and finally finishing it. Once again I am reminded why I loved this book in the first place! Not sure why I never finished it but I’m glad I finally did. Honestly, one of the main things I can takeaway from this book is how obsession can lead to your downfall. It eats you up, it pushes away everything else you love, it has consequences. Don’t expect your actions to not have consequences. I would have given this book 5 stars HOWEVER… I just felt like there were too many pages of unnecessary information that added almost nothing to the story whatsoever. Like okay miss shelley I understand you love describing everything down to the atom but you don’t have to do that for EVERYTHING. But I mean other than that, I really loved reading this dark tale! A classic indeed.
