Better than I thought it would be, beautifully written and interesting themes, but just a little too long at times, I didn't really need the 5 page description of the Alps.

I read this book for the Classics Reading Challenge.

The complexity of Frankenstein's monster is hands down one of the best aspects of this book. I like his development and how he's becoming more human throughout the book. I believe the author did manage to make the reader feel for him. After all, he was just misunderstood and needed love.

Page 52, calm mind.
 

Dokonalý člověk má vždy zachovat klidnou a pokojnou mysl a nikdy nemá připustit, aby vášeň nebo pomíjivá touha porušily jeho pohodu. Ani vědecké bádání nemá být podle mého názoru výjimkou z tohoto pravidla. Jestliže studium, kterému se člověk věnuje, vede k oslabení přátelských vztahů a prostých radostí, v nichž nemá být ani stopa bolesti, pak je toto studium určitě nesprávné a pro lidskou mysl nevhodné.

 

I hoped for a happier ending, but it wasn't bad.

I'm glad I read this book.

I absolutely loved this story. There are so many things wrong with it, which is exactly the point and the prime reason I loved it so much. 

definitely reread material ✅
