I approached this book with a lot of enthusiasm, but a vast misunderstanding of what it actually included. I was under the impression that all of these stories would be about Shelley's Creation, yet a majority of them are only inspired by her story or the 1931 film adaption, and involve unrelated creators and victims of scientific exploitation. Even though I found myself not enjoying most of the stories, especially the pulp ones, I remained determined to read to the end. However, its a library loan, I'm out of renewals, and I lack the motivation to read much further. I hate leaving things unfinished so I'm telling myself I'll try again at some other point, but honestly that's not likely.
