I had to read this book for a college assignment and I actually quite liked it, it took me a long time to get through, probably because it's harder for me to read a book that I have to read and that I didn't pick up on my own will.
But that put aside it was a really good book, some passages were a bit hard to understand to me, especially the end, I was a bit lost and couldn't understand what was happening and I find the end a bit rushed as well.
The narrative and exchange between Frankenstein and his monster were very interesting to me.
