I think I might have liked this better in print format, as I didn’t gel with this narrator. Shame - I was excited to finally read the story of Frankenstein, but was left bored…

The beginning and ending were really good. The middle was a little difficult to get through, in my opinion... A very interesting book, this is my second time reading it, but I probably wouldn’t read it again!

The language was of course rather floral. Nice change from what I've been reading. A bit too melodramatic for me. Frankenstein had a very hard lesson to learn.
