My favourite book. It is so beautifully written with such strong and impactful messages. 
It is absolutely nothing like the modern medias depiction of Frankenstein, rather than a doofy, zombie like monster, this is a creature that was given life against his will, and scorned for living it. It makes you think,  a reflection on the judgement and vanity of humanity, a story of loneliness and injustice and a wonderfully written descent into madness.
