Title: Frankenstein
Author: Mary Shelley
First published: 1818
Pages: 202
MY RATING: 9.5/10

I’m sure everyone knows the premise of Frankenstein so I won’t summarise that, I’m just really glad I got around to reading such a slay. Shelley pioneered science fiction with this. I love that Victor and Frankenstein were both deeply virtuous but also messed up in their own way, the detail in building and fleshing out their characters and psyches was really great. they are both incredible individuals. so interesting how a creator can nourish and care for the life of his creation only to reject and detest it the moment it exists, can’t blame Frankenstein for going nuts. loved it!!! reading Hamnet next

I’m too traumatised from the HSC to read this (I was meant to read it back during my HSC but didn’t lol)
I tried reading 1984 but got too stressed - it’s like Pavlov’s dog

I recently read “I’m thinking of ending things” by Ian Reid - it is a spooky book that makes you feel a bit weird after reading it, but I ended up reading it, listening to the audiobook, then watching the movie. The movie is shite.

10/10 would recommend the book

valid
I found frankenstein intimidating during hsc and didn’t get past the first 5 pages + I dropped ext english

it’s really good tho u might enjoy reading it now that it’s got nothing to do with hsc
