So fascinatingly unlike the film it inspired, this reimagining of a dozen Victorian novels plays beautifully with unreliable narrators, differing perspectives, and the way women are perceived, particularly when they're more able then the men around them.
el libro más completito y más original que me he leído
DNF @ 26%. Not bad, just not keeping my attention and don’t care at all
Stupendo fino a metà, fresco ma perfettamente ambientato nella Scozia ottocentesca.
Dalla seconda metà, quando cominciano le lettere della protagonista, diventa ripetitivo e pieno di personaggi secondari che non aggiungono niente ne alla storia ne al romanzo.
Si riprende, del tutto inaspettatamente ed egregiamente, nella parte finale.
Non vedo l’ora di vedere il film tratto da questo romanzo!

Losing it out of love for this book, I'll spare the lengthy set of essays I've written on it in a frenzy for myself and just say, I adore it, highly recommend.

5/5 … I honestly truly believed this was a true story due to the self-insert. This was completely engrossing and infinitely better than the movie (which was also very good — regardless if you enjoyed the movie, I think you ought to read this because you get to see more of the characters’ perspectives). I thought the movie was feminist in nature (despite the critiques about the male fantasy (ie creating Frankenstein’s monster as the ideal woman to be molded into a bride) (because really, if you only watched the movie and put yourself in Bella’s shoes, is it really the male fantasy or is it you projecting patriarchal viewpoints onto Bella’s actions and then realizing Bella is a fully formed woman with intellect and desires and curiosity but lives in a society that hasn’t progressed enough to provide it?)) but the book goes even further. It really is just so incredible in the ways it calls out flaws in society.
And praising of public health and radical socialism — what more could I ask for?!
