Frankenstein
by Mary Shelley
challenging
dark
tense
Frankenstein is a tragic exposition on the human condition, alienation and yearning for the love of another.
Every single person in this book needed a damn hug! The characters are so fleshed out (literally) and vivid, their wants and desires are so clearly depicted that you can’t help but feel empathy for them, even when they are being despicable in their actions. Shelley’s description of the scenery paints a sweeping, gothic landscape that brings chills & the conflict between all the characters is just riveting!
Frankenstein is one of those classics that fall into the niche basket of books that still hold up for a modern audience. Mary Shelley was a woman a century ahead of her time.
