" This was a very interesting book to read and one that I would definitely recommend to everyone. It's a book that everyone needs to read because it's a classic and one of the best written horror stories. The thing that's so creepy about this book is that it has layers and unless you read it carefully and really understand what's being described, you don't quite grasp the scary aspect to it but once you do it's quite haunting. This book was a tragedy and one that made me ache for the characters: I ached for the innocent victims of the creature, for Victor Frankenstein whose life was ultimately ruined by his creation, and the creature itself for being lonely and rejected by his own creator. I did not particularly like Victor. I thought he was very selfish and foolish for creating the monster, rejecting it, not telling anyone about it, and refusing the acknowledge the monster's feelings and trying to make things right. I was almost on the creature's side the whole time because I wanted him to be accepted and happy instead of being brutally rejected everywhere he turned. Overall, it was a very well written story that still haunts me when I think of the dark, tragic story. Also, one more thing: the creator's name is Frankenstein, not the monster's. It doesn't have a name, like an abandoned baby which in a way it is. "
