I was positively surprised by this little book. My expectations were very different. Frankenstein is a story that I heard bits and pieces of around me, but never expected a story like this. My biggest surprise was that it was so easy to read. This is a perfect book for beginners of the classics. Overall a good story to read around Halloween.

This was so different from what I expected!


Also, damn. That ending though.

This book is still as relevant today as it was in 1818, if not more so. I can't believe it's taken me so long to read it, but now that I have, I will probably never watch another film adaptation again.

I just don’t think I’m smart enough for this book LOL

Though I general love a classic, I just could not get into this one! I was so excited for it too! I’d heard great things and thought it would be such a fun October read, but I did not enjoy it as much as others.
