Incredible! Miles away from what I expected this book to be about (i.e. a monster mash [i.e. a graveyard smash]). It's a book about a person who alienates himself from society, literally flees to the Arctic Circle and dies RATHER than admit to his friends and family the scope of his failures....I feel that.

Good story but keep in mind you're reading something from the 19th century. It's very verbose.

Es ging erstaunlich wenig um das Monster und sehr viel um Victor Frankenstein's Gefühle. Und davon hatte er viele. Er ist wir ein Werther 2.0 (Spoiler: es gibt einen etwa einseitigen Monolog des Monsters darüber, was für ein tolles Buch 'Die Leiden des jungen Werther' doch ist), nur dass er bereits eine Verlobte hat (weiterer Spoiler: seine Cousine) und nicht hoffnungslos verliebt ist. Das Monster war viel sympatischer und auch ein besserer Erzähler als Victor Frankenstein.

I thought the element of obsessing Victor Frankenstein showed very interesting. It really showed how one can lose himself in greed. I also thought the relation of creator and created was intriguing, it gave an ethical spin in the sense of responsibility and duty. The novel also portrayed of loneliness or feeling of being misunderstood can turn someone into a 'monster' and how a few effects can snowball into huge consequences.
