ugh her minnddd!!! I'm not even gonna try to write what i think, how much i love this book and how brilliant Mary Shelley was. Ohh i could talk about this book for hours on end, and about every frankenstein's monster inspired character and so on and so forth...

Setting: Switzerland (  ) MissysBookshelf | Aug 27, 2023 | Me encanto, desde el primer momento no pude sentir mas que pena y empatía por el monstruo, condenado a vivir una vida de desprecio a pesar de haber nacido con un buen corazón e inocente. No puedo sentir mas que rechazo hacia Victor Frankenstein, ser malévolo y verdadero monstruo de esta historia magníficamente escrita por Mary Shelley ( ) mahebelen | Aug 25, 2023 | How did this become a classic? Even if you are used to the amazingly convoluted prose, because that's the style of the times, there's the matter of getting past the amazingly thin shred of story here, the lack of motivation, the skimming over the important bits to give immense detail to the overwrought reactions of the characters. Then you have to completely suspend your disbelief not only to allow for Frankenstein to create something like the monster in his student apartment out of nothing and in no time to allow for the fact that the dread monster goes from being completely unaware to erudite philosopher in a matter of months while living in hovel behind the hovel. I finished it because I had to. And how did the classic Frankenstein movie ever get derived from this self-indulgent emotion fest? Yikes! Now I have to watch one or two of the other adaptations that say they stuck closer to the Shelley version to see if they did.
