I read this book for school and enjoyed it. The plot was very intresting and I learned where the legend of Frankenstein came from. And it is really not what you think. The monster is not named Frankenstein, that is the inventor's last name. Just that in itself is something I've thought about a lot. It also wasn't too hard to read, I would definitely recommend it, especially around October.

Yeah, I mean it's fucking Frankenstein, like you got to read it. It is the first sci-fi novel, of course you have to read it. ALSO READ THE 1818 VERSION, IT'S A LOT BETTER.

Nothing I could say about this that hasn't already been said. Beautifully written, rich, and vivid.
