Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Shelley

4.0

Well done, Mary Shelley! This book was simultaneously nothing like I thought it would be and everything I imagined it would be. I can now understand how this story inspired so many novels, movies, and other media. This tale is firmly planted in our culture and way of life. If you want to really question what it means to be human, then this is the book for you. Also, Victor is so maddening as a human being and I hate that I can identify with him as much as I can identify with the monster.
