I can't believe I didn't read this sooner. I actually felt Frankenstein's monster was so humane and it really tilted my perception of what I was going to be reading. I genuinely loved this.

Can’t believe I’ve lived this long and had never read this book. My idea of Frankenstein is so colored by the image of Boris Karloff with green skin and bolts in his head, so I was completely surprised by the book. It’s full of alienation, abandonment, and revenge, and Frankenstein’s creation is so far from that movie image I had. Glad I finally read it!

Als je een boek wil lezen waar je lang over na blijft denken is dit het wel. Frankenstein bevat interessante thema's en vraagstukken, zonder dat die er in het verhaal heel dik bovenop liggen. De schrijfstijl was niet helemaal mijn ding. Heel lange beschrijvingen van zaken die niets aan het verhaal toevoegen (ik bedoel, beschrijvingen van bergen zijn mooi, maar moet dat drie pagina's zijn?) en op andere punten leek het verhaal weer heel snel te gaan terwijl ik wat meer uitleg had gewild. Het was een interessante klassieker om te lezen, maar niet een boek dat ik snel nog eens zou oppakken.
