Frankenstein 3/5

Frankenstein
Mary Shelley

The age old story of Frankenstein tells of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the scientist who wanted to be god and create life. He succeeds, but with dire consequences.

There isn't much to say on this book without spoiling it, but it is so much more than a horror story. There are underlying themes of where the line between science and ethics should be, the necessary of obsession, and an underlying feminist argument. The book however, is very slow and I found the character of Victor Frankenstein to be completely unlikeable. Hence my final rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

Thanks for reading another one of my reviews, I'll be back tomorrow with a review of Raymond Carver's "What we talk about when we talk about love."
