Frankenstein

2.5

This was weirdly story in a story in a story and the best part was the Wikipedia rabbit hole i fell into.

Mary Shelley is a fascinating person and this book touches on a lot of interesting themes but my god is Viktor Frankenstein the WORST .. whiny and pretentious and for a smart person so incredibly stupid that it hurts.

This book started out as a short story and I think it should've stayed one, or a novella at best. The good parts disappear between long tangents and unnecessary monologues but I'm still glad I read it, it really does have great moments.
