I hate the author, I hate the book, I hate the fact I know how to read, I hate that I relate to the monster so much, I hate the ending, I HATE Victor Frankenstein and every other human in the book!

This book shattered me in ways I didn't think were possible. Waterfalls after waterfalls fell from my eyes. My heart squeezed with sadness and cried out in despair when I read the last sentence!
After everything the monster went through, to let the story end with that, is a sin itself.

Shame on you, Mrs. Shelley! I hope you're satisfied with the despair you caused!

Also, the story's gay as hell.

4.99 stars, since I won't forgive her for the ending…

Such an interesting way of how the story was build up. You get to experience from three perspectives which are all different.

Spoilers: There’s a lot of murder and death, a lot of agony and pain emotionally and so much unfortune. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re depressed or not in a good place
