where do i start? from the amazing writing of M.W.S to the overall message and theme, i loved every second of this, and am so glad i was able to read one of the best classics ever. this book serves as a warning about not only having a god complex, but having an unhealthy thirst for knowledge and exploration and the mindset that nature can be controlled within our grasp-it cannot nor should not. when it comes to scientific discoveries and innovations, as my absolute fav character (dr. malcolm) once said, “scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should”, and that OH SO PERFECTLY describes victor, aka the worst father in classic literature. overall, i loved this book so much and totally understand the hype.

It's really interesting how different the book was from the media based off it! Really cool to analyze.
