A review by joymargot
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

3.0

It’s been a hot minute since I read a classic! This was a good choice for dipping back in as it’s pretty short and the language is accessible.

It’s incredibly different to every movie adaption and cultural reference I’ve come across. Less about the “monster” and more about Frankenstein being a bit of a self-absorbed tit. Still, worth a read and the essays and introductions at the start provided some interesting context although I did, as always, read them afterwards.
