I really did not enjoy this book. As in... finishing it was pure torture.

The story read pretty easily once I got used to the style of writing and I ended up reading this in about 4 sittings.

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. ...more

This book was very surprising. I always thought Frankenstein was the monster. He's not. He's the creator of the monster. It was a great book on creator/creation relationships.
