So, I have a lot of questions. His skin is described as yellow, and he has "flowing" black hair, so where did we get this green goon with the bolts in his neck? Said bolts are never mentioned, haha. Also, is this guy even a doctor? He certainly didn't go to medical school. Basically, he just had a passion for science that led him to building a monster - Dr? I think not. Also, tell me it's not just me who thinks it is ridiculously strange that you would marry your adopted sister, who you call "cousin." Oof. Needless to say, I went into Frankenstein with a very limited knowledge of what the real story is about, and despite all those questions, I really loved it. Mary Shelly is pretty badass. Packed with emotion, drama, and terror, it's meticulously written and filled with passion. The perfect spooky season read!
