::googles how Frankenstein ends::
I think my audiobook was missing a few minutes at the end. Or it was just a severely abrupt ending.
I need two things after reading this book:
1. An annotated version of Frankenstein.
2. A really well written modern day version of Frankenstein.
I want to read more classics, I really do. But I am just not cut out for the language. It took me several restarts to get going on this, and I finally resorted to upping the speed on the narration to get through it a little faster.
The story itself is extremely interesting, I will not take that away. But the language and the pace didn't lend themselves to keeping my attention. It was probably a mistake to do this via audiobook, but I figured it would be harder for me to stop reading it all together.
I would very much like to read the annotated version, though, to pick up all the things I missed.

This book was kind of slow in some parts, but overall it was very good and had a good message, I felt. It was very sad, though.
