I have wanted to read this book for so so long, and I was happy to read it. But it was not my cup of tea sadly. I was confused and didn’t follow that well. It’s been allot going on so I had to read the book in two days which was bad and stressful.

The first time I read this book, I was a sophomore in high school, and this was one of the few assigned readings that I actually completed. This is my first reread of the novel—fifteen years later—and I can now say that it still ranks highly among my favorite classic novels! I enjoyed following the incredible/unbelievable journeys of the three narrators, and I can now much better appreciate the Romantic, Gothic, and Transcendentalist elements that Shelley uses to weave her narratives. I think I’ll always be blown away by what Shelley accomplished as a woman of her time and how much of herself she puts into her work. I don’t believe I have anything new under the sun to say about Frankenstein. All I can say is that it truly does live up to the bar against which it is set.

Frankenstein is brilliant. It’s short, easier to read than many other classics, and gives the reader a lot to consider morally and ethically.
