Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

5.0

"...that I have endured"
These are the words that continuously echo from out of Frankenstein's mouth. Always the victim, Victor runs from the first moment that he thinks, "this was a mistake." From then on it's all poor me, feel sorry for what gas occurred in my life, forget that this was all my doing and even at a chance of redemption I say fuck you monster who had no say in the matter, fuck you. This is the story of Victor Frankenstein

Honestly I'm so glad I heard this on Audiobook. Dan Stevens is a wonderful narrator and Frankenstein is an insufferable piece of woe-be-me shit. On my quest to read the classics I've always dropped Frank whenever I'd try, and it was with the help of the Dan that I persevered. And it's not that it's a bad book, it's great. Beautifuly written, wonderfully thought out. The monster's pov was such a sad and entrancing tale, and then you have Frankenstein so unsympathetic, seeing only a demon creature, completely forgetting who's fault it is that it exists.

So yes I loved the story I love the book, I hate Frankenstein.
