No idea what happened here. I'm a simple girl: I see a book, I leaf through it.
Somehow the 'leafing through it' turned into me reading 50 pages in one sitting without evenrealising it. :D
I blame Guillermo del Toro, my friend Becks, the bookkeeper who had this edition dangling under my nose like candy, and myself for not reading this before. It's engrossing!
But, wait, why do Swiss folks have English names here?

Hahaha! So he wasn't Dr Frankenstein yet but only a college kid?
Wish his formula to animate dead matter wasn't a "never gonna tell" secret, & his motives were more impactful.
Disappointing, but still interesting dilemmas.
My dear Victor, all of this trouble wouldn't have happened if you had TALKED and taken immediate countermeasures.
Or better yet, not done that experiment.
But then we'd not have this novel.

Do I have to turn my nitpicky function off, do ya think? :D
Hopefully gonna read this one soon, debating whether audiobook or physical/ebook would be better
I'm going slowly, so maybe you can catch up!
Have you liked the recent adaptation by Guillermo del Toro? I certainly did like the aesthetics of the Sublime, the soundtrack and the acting performance! Having a penchant for stories set in the arctic or antarctic circle also helps :D It somehow reminded me some elements from The Terror, and reminded me I have yet to read the original story :)

I'll watch it after I'm done with the book, that's the plan.
