A review by feralandbookish
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
3.5
I understand why this is a classic and why many people enjoy it... I, however, did not.
I am still glad that I took the time to read it for the same reason I never really regret reading a classic. Every time I read one, it helps me to further map out the evolutions in story telling. This book was the first of its kind on many fronts and is very deserving of the high praise it tends to get. I just couldn't really find any personal enjoyment in it. I doubt it is something I will read again in the future but I would recommend anyone to read it at least once for its historical significance to literature as a whole.
