A really interesting, well written, and thought provoking book that I will most likely never read again.
I would most definately rate it higher if it was an unbiased rating, as it's incredibly well written and intriguing, but I just didn't enjoy it all that much.
I also disagree when people say that Frankenstein was the monster all along; he was arrogant, prideful, naive, and cowardly, but he wasn't the monster.
I recommend the book, I think it's a classic that should be read, and I understand why so many people love it, it's just not my cup of tea ultimately.
