Fascinating concept. The language of the story is very high society and somewhat to flowery for a reader some 200 years removed. If there were a translation that was more readable it might be better.

My god! Victor Frankenstein, grow a backbone, and stop depending on the care of every single person around you, please.
Loved the creature, its character was fully fleshed out (pardon the pun). Its dialogue, motives, and actions were all in accordance with each other. Its relationships were bitter-sweet and his were the chapters I most enjoyed.

Mary Shelley is my ancestor! I read this book when I was younger so it felt slow at the time but it’s a good story about humanity
