Excepcional, muito bom, com algumas frases muito bonitas, me fez ter vários questionamentos sobre a vida e como lidar com ela, consegui sentir empatia pelo monstro e também pelo Victor. em geral, foi exatamente oq eu esperava, nem mais, nem menos.

Read this for school and it was good, a little boring at some points. I like the message of the consequences of social rejection.

Having sworn off 'classic literature' since high school I decided to give it another try. I am glad I read Frankenstein. Mary Shelley truly is an artist and the writing is eloquent and masterful. While beautiful to read, it did remind me of the intense descriptiveness of Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

3.5 rounded up to 4. see what happens when i apply myself ?? i can read a 200 page book for class in less than 24 hours even though i’ve had a month to do it. regardless, i actually did enjoy this.
