Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
3.75
challenging dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
The story is certainly a well-written, interesting read, with a good premise and plot. The chapters from the creature's perspective are the closest to 'enjoyable', but the other parts of the narrative are usually slow, often depressing and occassionally infuriating. I have a feeling that was the author's intention, but all the same - while I'm glad I have read the book - I probably won't be rushing to reread it.
