I feel like media image of Frankenstein is very different from the one the book actually portrays. I was ready for a monster named Frankenstein with metal bolts in his head, being chased by an angry medieval village mob with torches and pitchforks. Instead I got a doctor name Frankenstein with commitment issues that is also bipolar. The action was fast paced and simpler than that of Dracula. Even if I gave both books the same rating, I prefer the vampire story simply because it expanded a lot more on the story and the characters. The characters in Frankenstein excluding Viktor and the monster are almost irrelevant. Also, the scene where he animates the monster is almost inexistent, which means the whole lightning hitting a corpse scene was also crafted by the media, womp womp.
