Horror is not really my thing, so I never considered reading Frankenstein until I came across a gorgeous Peter Pauper Press edition last weekend. I’m a sucker for pretty books. Now I’m wondering how I made it this far in life without reading it. The themes on morality and mortality are far more developed than I expected them to be- I’m amazed that a 19 year old was able to wrestle through them with such depth and wisdom. The imagery- especially in chapter 10-is so lovely, and the writing flows beautifully. This is one that everyone should read.

He sentido odio hacia la criatura, compasión con el creador, pero dudas al final con la criatura, pensando en su situación me hace reflexionar, pero es complicado cuando lo "odias". Mucho que pensar, muy buen libro, recomendado la verdad.
