Knyga buvo gerai parašyta, buvo lengva susidomėti ir ją skaityti. 
Pati knyga yra kupina reikšmių; galėtum knygą matyti iš abiejų perspektyvų, ir iš Frankenšteino, ir iš jo monstro. 
Iš Frankenšteino perspektyvos galima suprasti, kad matyti naują kūrinį, kuris niekaip neprilygsta prie kitų jau esančių dalykų, yra baisu. Yra logiška, kad jis, pamatęs savo mirusiuos šeimos narius ir draugus, dar toliau nekęstų savo kūrinio. 
Tačiau iš jo monstro perspektyvos yra suprantama, kodėl jis norėjo atkeršyti, kodėl jis jautėsi neteisingai atstumtas, ir kaip tai nulėmė jo tolimus veiksmus. 
Taip pat, šią knygą galima matyti kaip metaforą dėl didesnių pasaulio problemų; tokių kaip migracijos, patyčių  grožio standartų, t. t. 
Vienintelis pasiskundimas yra kad man dažnai daugiau patinka "Show dont tell" stilius, o šitoje knygoje to retai būdavo, kas sutrukdė prisijausti prie veikėjų.

A bit of a slog to get through, but good for analysing and creepy vibes were so welcomed.
