Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
My favorite class-required read. I’m tempted to steal this class copy.
I listened to Frankenstein recently, and I wasn’t very keen on it. For one thing the monster seemed so very eloquent with his speech, which broke my immersion because a being who had no understanding of language at all not so long ago should have language skills that are rudimentary at best. This among other issues. The story just didn’t captivate me.
Dracula, on the other hand, was fantastic.
