I read Frankenstein in high school, but I decided to read it again, and it's crazy how much more you can like a book when you don't have to be graded on your understanding of it lol. It's not that I hated it the first time or anything. I just think that essays and tests and whatnot can really take the fun out of reading a book for the first time.
There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but I really enjoyed this book. Not only is Shelley's writing incredible, Frankenstein is also a much quicker + easier read than I anticipated. All I'm saying is, there is a reason it is one of the most well-known books of all time.
