Read many years ago 1970s(?) - Rated: 3-Stars
Read in 2021 for a classic re-read project - Rated: 5-Stars
One of the BBC’s ‘100 Novels That Shaped Our World’
200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiece—a classic work of humanity and horror that blurs the line between man and monster…
The story of Victor Frankenstein who, obsessed with creating life itself, plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, but whose botched creature sets out to destroy his maker, would become the world’s most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity. A novel of hallucinatory intensity, Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination.

I was kind of disappointed in this book. I had high hopes and expectations, but felt the most let down in the elements of science fiction, horror, and detail. The writing was stunning and beautiful, but there was much left to be desired in the content of the book in my eyes.

Lo primero de todo, no es un libro de terror. Yo no leo libros de miedo. Pero sí que durante todo el libro sientes inquietud.
Dicho esto, no se parece a lo que yo creía que era la historia de Victor Frankenstein y su monstruo. Historia para reflexionar sobre la maldad, la soledad, las circunstancias que hacen (o no) que te comportes de determinada manera.

classic for a reason. except for the weird cousin-adopted child incest it was very good, though the start is a big lugging.
