Read for school, why I didn't add a star rating. Did not enjoy this novel.

Read many years ago 1970s(?) - Rated: 3-Stars
Read in 2021 for a classic re-read project - Rated: 5-Stars
One of the BBC’s ‘100 Novels That Shaped Our World’
200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiece—a classic work of humanity and horror that blurs the line between man and monster…
The story of Victor Frankenstein who, obsessed with creating life itself, plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, but whose botched creature sets out to destroy his maker, would become the world’s most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity. A novel of hallucinatory intensity, Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination.

¿Qué puedo decir de Frankenstein que no se haya dicho ya?
A veces vivir bajo una piedra respecto a ciertas cosas tiene sus ventajas; esto lo digo porque no tenía idea de qué me iba a encontrar en esta historia, no había visto ninguna película relacionada con la novela, ni había leído nada acerca de qué iba la trama. Lo único que sabía por cultura general, es que era un monstruo que vivía en un castillo y su nombre era Frankenstein (sabrán interpretar esto como mi ignorancia). En pocas palabras, entré ‘ciego’ y salí viendo más de lo que esperaba.
¡JOYA!

Frankensteinin lukeminen itsessään oli nautinnollista. Teksti kulki eteenpäin sulavasti ja kirja hukkui hetkessä. Kuitenkin oli kohtia, joissa jäin pohtimaan. Kaipasin niihin jotain enemmän...Victorin suhteen ehkä myös vähemmän.
Se, mitä luulin kirjan olevan erosi hyvin paljon todellisuudesta. Oletin jatkuvasti eri lopputulemaa, ja siksi loppu jäikin hiukan hämmentäväksi.
