3.6 - Probably would have enjoyed it more if I read it in a book club or lit class with discussions. I read the later version (1830 maybe?) but didn't see that as an option here. I found it a bit whiny and boring. Too much pondering and dialogue- and the monster just didn't do it for me. Didn't care for Frankenstein either- I wasn't convinced of his relationships with his loved ones and therefore their fates didn't affect me. Also would have liked some more details pertaining to the creation of the monster, that seemed kinda glossed over. Idk it just didn't do it for me but regardless it was a great book that made me think.. something I could do a little more often...
