I’ve read this book multiple many times for multiple many classes, and this book is just tooooooo deep and has had tooooo much impact on literary and scholarly studies and held up to many rereadings with different focuses to not get the full 5

Such a good book, especially for its time. A shame the green flat headed monster is seemingly more popular.

This is a book about man's selfishness and what solitude & societal behavior can do to a being. Absolutely wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audiobook. There was a lot to be thought about and it's beautiful how Mary Shelly has written this novel at such a young age.
