Title: Frankenstein
Author: Mary Shelley
Pages: 210
Published: 2000 (originally published 1818)
Genre: Classics, Gothic, Horror
Rating: 4/5
Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel presents the epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. (via Amazon.com)
Thoughts: I quite enjoyed it. I think that this book should serve as a cautionary tale about creating something that can get beyond our control and that man's selfishness often creates things that makes us feel as though we are god-like.
