Celeste Cannon’s Reviews > Frankenstein: The 1818 Text > Status Update

Disappointed, parts were really good and obviously the premise was great but it was very long winded, someone said it forced you to really take it in, but I think it forced me to stop reading hence why it took me so long to finish. I felt no sympathy for the monster at the end and Frankenstein was a moaner even though he had good reason to moan like pls stop. I’m sure there’s loads of imagery of poetic stuff

Clerval being dead shocked me and I liked the Ireland cameo. But I’m confused why he is shocked Elizabeth has been killed, like he proceeded with all that what else was going to happen? The monster would never kill him as he’s the only one who can make him a companion and he made that pretty clear

I am reading this so slowww, I just cannot get in to it. Some parts I’ve enjoyed but very little has really happened and it feels very dragged out. I don’t dislike it I just can’t get into it:(

No mention of bolts, he’s not green, Frankenstein isn’t chuffed with his creation and the monster can talk??? The story has developed so far away from the original

That went quick from college is weird everyone slags my outdated fav scientists to I’ve found how to give life to lifeless matter, I’m now also like and addict and a grave robber, where did that come from damn
