Frankenstein

Finally, after 30 years of telling myself "It's Frankenstein. You have to read it or it will follow you across the globe, slowly picking off those you love, dashing your dreams, and rendering you wretched... just like the monster in the story. Now go. Read it!" I've done it. The novel differed from my expectations in good ways. The story that I knew prior to reading the book was essentially only the first of the three parts that the book is divided into. Many readers may be pleasantly surprised, as I was, to find so much more to the story than they expected.
