linneak2002's review against another edition
I am glad I read this book, but it wasn't a very pleasant book to read. Reading it alongside Dr. Jekyell and Mr. Hyde was interesting though.

Loved it. I like the questions it raises on justice, revenge and the responsibilities of a creator. I think you can draw parallels to God and humanity in some ways. I’m agnostic, but it makes me wonder whether God’s fulfilling that duty and what that duty even is. Is it to care of the creation or nurture goodness or faith in it? If it’s the latter, he arguably hasn’t (if he did, we wouldn’t have complete free will), but given that, is it really just for him to condemn those who haven’t followed his word or believed in him despite it ultimately not being their fault but their environments?

This is, by far, my favorite classic. It hit me with a plot I didn't expect, but ended up liking it. What kept me going was the sensitivity and how driven Frankenstein is.
The only detail I didn't like is how many details there are in the narration of Victor's trips. I feel like a lot could be cut off without the plot feeling like something is missing.
It spoke to me in a way only a few books have done it. I think many people have felt like Frankeinstein at some point and are looking in a higher power for justice.
