4.5
Pequeña reseña:
Este libro tiene muchísimo que ofrecer, es hermoso y doloroso. No he podido evitar sentirme identificada con la bestia y sufrir con él. Le he dado 4 estrellas porque me han parecido algunas escenas algo fuera de lugar, insignificantes. Pero ese final tan para pelos se merece un 4.5

I've been thinking about how to rate this because as a horror novel it's probably a 2 star read, but as a classic period timepiece about compassion and humanity, it's just beautiful and heartbreaking. I felt so much pain and sadness for the "monster", he didn't ask to be made, yet he was brought to life only to suffer the cruelty of humans... Mary Shelley's work here is amazing, the writing, the way she develops each and every single character, and the ambiance! I loved it!
