4 ⭐️ Reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley feels more like an obligation than a choice for a person interested in literature. While I did not thoroughly enjoy the novel, I did enjoy the discussions we had in class about the message, and hearing about different interpretations. I respect it as a classic and understand why it is well-spoken about. The reading experience for me was quite slow but I am glad to have read it. I do feel more strongly about it than books I have rated 3-3.5 and therefore feel that it deserves a slightly higher rating.

Finally, I finished it!



Did I enjoy it?
No.

Why?
The book is nothing horror but pure sentimental, made me exhausted from all the boredom.

Initial expectation?
I wanted horror. Classic horror to be specific.

Pet peeves?
Repetitive & whining Frankenstein & his equally whining created being.

Further notes.
Full review coming soon...if I'm not lazy. ^^
