On my re-reading I have to admit, that if I didn't have such fond memories of my first encounter with this novel years and years ago, I would probably rate it much lower these days.

The way Frankenstein and his creation endlessly revolve ever only around their own person, this absolute height of egotism in both can get hard to endure. But then, it is a timeless, wise warning Shelley delivers in her tale against science going unchecked, only ever driven forward by the question of what is possible, never stopping to ask what is ethical.

To my particular version I have to add, that I'm still held the same in awe by Wrightson’s detailed illustrations accompanying the story, to which add the excellent quality of the printing and binding of the book, all in all features that still justify a full five star rating, even if I now could find fault with Shelley’s writing.
