Frankenstein is a very interesting novel. Overall I like it so far. Some parts in it are hard to understand though. Mary Shelley did a very good job of creating an interesting story. I can't believe how crazy and obsessive Victor goes into his work. I get obsessed over somethings, but never so obsessed that I forget about my family and everything else in my life. It would be scary to also know that I created a monster and it was running around killing people! The plot of the story is intriguing and keeps me interested.
The only thing that I wish that was different was how Shelley described the creature. "How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe..." (p. 43, Shelley) is really the only paragraph that explains how the creature looks. It would make the book a little better if there was more description on how Shelley saw the creature, not Hollywood. It was her creature, not Hollywood's! The whole book is based on this creature and we don't even know what it truly looks like. Shelley created a very interesting book and its a great book to read right before HALLOWEEN!
