I first read this novel in 2016. My re-read was this edition illustrated by Bernie Wrightson. These illustrations were so powerful in adding to the atmosphere, that I strongly recommend looking them up or obtaining a copy to enjoy for yourself.

But that put aside it was a really good book, some passages were a bit hard to understand to me, especially the end, I was a bit lost and couldn't understand what was happening and I find the end a bit rushed as well.
The narrative and exchange between Frankenstein and his monster were very interesting to me.
