    Unpausing this one now I've finished Frankenstein. The writing is so dense and sometimes the dialogue is near impossible to understand (seeing as it's set in 1550s Scotland with the dialect to match). I am genuinely invested with the story and its characters but I wish it moved a little faster. I'd like more focus on the romance and fae aspects too but I guess that's the modern reader in me.

    I am reading from and antique 1820 copy which definitely doesn't help with my reading speed as the cover is fragile so I can hardly carry it around with me. Reading this has been a bit of a trudge but I hope the story remains interesting and that I'll be grateful I read it by the end 🙏

    Everyone say thank you Mary Shelley

    Frankenstein has its status as a classic for a reason. The story and its metaphors are timeless. This book wasn't quite what I expected, but I really enjoyed the creature's reflections on human nature and towards himself at the end. The reflections on life, society, kindness and cruelty were my favourite parts as they ring true even 200 years after they were written. It's the only classic I've read so far (save for Jane Eyre) that I struggled to put down, saying 'just one more chapter' 😂.

    I found it interesting that both Dr. Frankenstein and the creature were sympathetic (to me at least). I felt sorry for the creature's wretched experiences but his zest for life was infectious. Overall I really enjoyed and would definitely recommend this book first to anyone who wants to begin reading classics but isn't sure where to start.
