Book Review: Frankenstein

Frankenstein

Although the writing is at times awkward, Shelley explores a number of interesting ideas in this book. 

Dr Frankenstein creates a monster. More like a meat puzzle than the relatively tidy later depictions. One question raised is what is life and what is it to be human? The Monster in fact is superhuman - stronger, smarter and faster than it's creator.

The Monster is driven toward murder and psychopathy by the hatred showed by the human race.

Worth reading, although there does seem to be a good deal of padding at the beginning.
