An amazing book, but I would have enjoyed something else more. (maybe that’s the point)

After spotting this in a charity shop recently I thought it might be an interesting take on the classic. I’ve read Frankenstein before but struggled a little to concentrate on it, the illustrations really helped!

Supreendente este clássico que foi um dos primeiros livros do género de terror. Foi escrito há 202 anos e subjacente a toda a história, está o tema da solidão e a amargura que a falta de companhia é compreensão trazem. Brilhante e muito atual. Afinal, todos sofrem quando o homem tenta fazer o papel de Deus.

the final boss of daddy issues. i couldn’t quite deal with the monologue within a monologue within a written monologue structure that so many classics seem to love.
