*Edit: Writing this here as a reminder for myself. Read this book before the year 2014 is over, preferably within the the next few months (July 31/14)


I've read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Novelization but not the real book, which I've had on my shelves for years and keep on meaning to get too.

Decent, had some genuinely exciting moments, but holy crap Victor Frankenstein is the most irritating protagonist of all time. Also, EVERY character speaks in the exact some voice. I gave it three stars because I sense there is some interesting stuff here that could be teased out with the application of some critical theory, but in my heart it only got two.

This book offers an interesting study of ambitions and purpose. This book raises two interesting questions. The first is, at what point should an ambition be abandoned? And the second, Once we determine a a purpose in life should we not reexamin it, and be free to change it?
