An interesting book. It's worth the read just to discover the âtruth' so to speak of Frankenstein (i.e., Frankenstein isn't even the monsterâ¦)
I removed stars mainly because Victor was so whiny and unlikeable. I got tired of reading all his justifications for why he neglected his creation. Overall, I felt really bad for the monster. I also didn't like how this book was told as a story within a letter, the way Wuthering Heights or The Tenant of Wildfell hall is. Walton was a pointless character. It would've made more sense to have the book be Frankenstein's autobiography from his death bed with a final note from the monster before he went to his funeral pyre.
