4.0

I read this for school and i have to say that I really enjoyed all of it. There were chapters that were slow and some what boring, but i find interesting how the reader is able to know Victor Frankenstein’s POV and the monster as well. I can say that this novel is definitely character-driven because the book spends a lot of time showing their personality and thoughts. I really think that the main villain of the story is Victor Frankenstein, and he was really my least favorite character.
