Guessed already? If not, the book this time is, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
To clear a few common misconceptions, the creature itself is not called Frankenstein, that is the surname of the doctor who created the monster and that Frankenstein's creation does not have bolts on it's neck. Now that those are out of the way, let's get into the book itself. The story has alot of backstory and a lot of character development, the book starts at the end and then talks about the beginning and what things lead to Victor Frankenstein to re-animate a corpse he put together. He is consumed by trying to re-animate a corpse and almost loses everyone in his life and himself while trying to do so. After re-animating the corpse, Victor denies the fact from himself. This makes a very interesting setting, allowing room for alot of character development. The monster itself, is more than a man, yet less than a man. Hated by everyone who sees the monster, treated well by only one man, making him feel like a real person, but then he is driven away from the old, blind man. So, even the "villain" is very identifiable by everyone who has been lonely or is a misfit in society. Many characters who are extremely identifiable even in todays world. Damn this book is sounding better and better all the time. I won't get into the story too much since anything more I would say, would almost ruin the whole book for you and this will leave you more interested to read it.
Now, let's talk about other things, in the terms of writing. The use of language was perfect and the way it was written matched that way. Brilliant characters, each one of them had a certain personality and strong development. Victor changes the most during the book being that he is present most of the time and many things happen to him.
Im making this one short since I dont know what to write about this time.
Good Evening
