    Although I love the description of everything I am kinda still waiting for the story to actually start?

    Thoughts from 7% letters

    I have been so confused with these letters I started reading Frankenstein without actually knowing anything about it and the start just made me have a look whether I did not accidentally pick up a copy of Moby dick (of which I also know nothing about except that there is a whale) But anyway I love the description of emotions so much!

    Just about finished in time for the movie

    And yes I know the movies only the first half, but it’s about the principle

    Thoughts from 1% (Introductory Essay and Preface)

    Yes, I'm one of those people who actually reads the introductory essay(s) LOL. I really wish this one had focused on the differences between the original 1818 publication and the revised 1831 version; seems like a bit of a no-brainer and a missed opportunity? Instead we get an essay filled with (nonetheless, interesting and relevant) biographical information and a surface-level examination of the themes of the novel. I was hoping for a bit more.

    Also, I find the preface hilarious. It's both comforting and horrifying that authors even hundreds of years ago had to start their books off clarifying that "no, in fact I don't agree with all the opinions of every character in this novel". I guess there are readers lacking reading comprehension in every era 😭

    Inspired to read after watching Wicked

    I’m sure I won’t be the only one but after watching Wicked tonight I’m inspired to do a deep dive into Oz. I knew. NOTHING about Wicked and I may be obsessed now 😅 starting way back at the beginning with this read

    Thoughts from 66% (page 199)

    Read this book and other Oz books when I was young and I love rereading with my partner now as an adult. It's a pretty quick read. I recommend the Oz books so much. They add so much lore to Oz that too many people are unaware of!

    Maybe the best book for children I’ve read so far as an adult. It’s fun to read, full of fantasy and little lessons for life :)
