I love Walton, and I love Victor. They're both amazing narrators, and, yes, ... I am a Victor sympathiser.
If you have some patience and believe in this concept, then I'd say this is definitely a worthy read. Even though it's heavy, it's not that long, and there really is a reason why this story has survived for as long as it has.

The complexity of Frankenstein's monster is hands down one of the best aspects of this book. I like his development and how he's becoming more human throughout the book. I believe the author did manage to make the reader feel for him. After all, he was just misunderstood and needed love.
Page 52, calm mind.
Spoiler
Dokonalý člověk má vždy zachovat klidnou a pokojnou mysl a nikdy nemá připustit, aby vášeň nebo pomíjivá touha porušily jeho pohodu. Ani vědecké bádání nemá být podle mého názoru výjimkou z tohoto pravidla. Jestliže studium, kterému se člověk věnuje, vede k oslabení přátelských vztahů a prostých radostí, v nichž nemá být ani stopa bolesti, pak je toto studium určitě nesprávné a pro lidskou mysl nevhodné.I hoped for a happier ending, but it wasn't bad.
I'm glad I read this book.
