I hate to say it, but the more I read this, the less I like it. Like, it's not a bad book! It's very interesting and chock full of philosophical debates that ring true to this day. However, everyone's so whiny. I've come to hate Frankenstein because he can't realize that he is the cause of his own misery, not the Monster. And the Monster? All I can say is: like father, like son.

Original review

A great read. I see now why it is still considered a great classic. There were a few parts that were slow but, for the most part, I didn't get bored while reading it. This will most definitely be a classic I will read again and again.
