If you have a God complex and/or Daddy issues, then this is the book for you!!! Mary Shelley wrote the scariest story known to mankind, which is basically what happens when a man invents something highly destructive and then regrets it, but it's way too late and it bites him -- but mostly OTHER PEOPLE -- in the ass (also see: the nuclear bomb). Really, the story of Pandora's Box was probably about a man. Great work, Mary. I've also done really destructive things to get my father's attention, so this book was very relatable.

Not the story I expected

I had no idea the tragedy that befell Frankenstein after he created his monster. Why did he marry when he had been warned? Senseless tragedy. I know it's a classic but it was not to my taste.

(1.) Ölümcül bir peşin hüküm kör etmiş gözlerini. Karşılarında duygulu, iyi bir dost yerine sadece iğrenç bir canavar görüyorlar. (2.) İnsan denen varlık gerçekten de aynı zamanda hem böyle kudretli, erdemli ve olağanüstü, hem de fesat ve asağılık mıydı?

I’ve never read the book but from what I heard, the movie deviated quite a bit from the book. Now I want to go read the book.

I read this in high school but is definitely one to revisit. Mary Shelley’s description of the beast makes you love him and fear him at the same time
