Analyzing books in high school was one of my ...

I had the chance to read this book in an English class I’m taking this semester. I was at first terribly excited, and then terribly disappointed, and then terribly engrossed. The beginning of this book was slow-going and somewhat painful, until we finally reached the narration of Victor Frankenstein...
