Giving it stars so I can write notes. Listened to it in the background across multiple sittings. Didn't super connect with it/pay attention.

Je n’ai jamais mis autant de temps à lire 300 pages. Je suis sûrement partie avec des idées préconçues et ma lecture ne ressemblait en rien à ce que j’avais imaginé.
Il a fallu atteindre la 200e page pour que j’y trouve un peu d’intérêt. Je suis super déçue.

What even is there to say? A year without summer produced one of the most important texts ever. A meditation on grief buried underneath the cold, hard earth of one of the most awful things to ever be imagined. A man created life and it brought nothing but misery and suffering to everything he held dear.

The creature's POV is most definitely the best part of this novel. I find Victor insufferable and not in any interesting way. I wish the novel focused more on the relationship between creator/creation than Victor's emotions. 
Of course, this is an unprecedented and groundbreaking work which deserves its accolades.
