I began reading this book thinking that it was going to be a great read, and for me, it wasn’t. It was just okay. I had trouble connecting with the characters. I generally disliked Victor Frankenstein, because he never thought about the consequences of his actions or how the Monster would react to life. Thus, the Monster has terrible and vile behavior due to his creator’s lack of foresight in his work.

Mary Shelley's lack of experience in writing is very prominent in this book, with every character sounding extremely similar in point of view. However, the story is really gripping and incredibly interesting. I analyzed this book in an English class, and it's been the best book to analyze so far. There are so many ways to look at and read this novel, and in-depth character analysis was honestly so interesting.
