The only book from school that I enjoyed reading so much I decided to read it again years later
Mary Shelley was a genius, don't get me wrong: she paved the way for sci-fi as a genre and for several other authors. But, that being said, I just can't get into her writing. Wish I could, though, to really experience and enjoy it.

I have never read Frankenstein before this and I can fully say that I now understand why this is considered a classic. It was nothing like I expected and incredible. Of course this work of literature has inspired centuries of sci-fi and horror long after its publication. Mary Shelley is the founder of that and she well deserves the honor.

The story was not at all what I was expecting based on the little I've gleaned about Frankenstein from popular media (there's no moment where he yells, "it lives!"). This story was beautifully written and thought-provoking.
