What a great fall read! It was a little slow paced at first but I enjoyed the different timelines between Walton's narration, Frankenstein's narration, and the monster's narration. My favorite chapters were in the monster's point of view and I enjoyed how Shelley used different character's narrations to reveal new things about the plot. The ending felt VERY anticlimactic but I liked how the overall story line was structured!
