Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Shelley, Charlotte Gordon
5.0
I see why this book is so popular now! It was so very engaging and a really good read!
I knew a few of the misconceptions going into this book (Frankenstein is the doctor and not the creature, and so on) as well as a rough summary of the book going into this read. However, it no where near encompassed the actual story. The humanness of the creature Frankenstein made and the resulting tragedies that followed are so different from how I imagined it would play out and I love this version so much better
(for the record: Frankenstein is a bit immature and awful and could’ve possibly showed a bit more empathy…also how does he fall sick for months every time something goes wrong!)
