Having read Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein several times, some years apart, each time I have been wowed by the quality of her insights (especially for someone young as she was) and for her masterful writing. Also, as a special treat, couple the book with Kenneth Branaugh’s film of the story. The are quite different but both wonderful.
And please note that Frankenstein is the scientist, not the creature he creates.
