I am seriously considering making a shelf for 'characters-I-wish-I-could-kill' Soooo Frankenstein is such a jerk! This book would've gotten 1 star if there weren't those couple of chapters from the creatures perspective. The beginning doesn't add anything to the story and the letters are pretty poin...
From the start I was thrown for a loop. My expectations involved creepy mountain castles and electric storms not ships sailing the Arctic seas. The beginning wasn't the only thing that broke the mould of my expectations, for the novel as a whole was wholly other than that which I had envisioned it t...
You may be wondering why I am suddenly writing commentaries on a number of works by Percy Bysshe Shelley all at once when usually I tend to read a different range of writers. The main reason is because I have been reading through a collection of his works and have simply become so engrossed in it th...
It seems that poor old Percy Shelley seemed to have a few problems in publishing some of his books. While this poem was finished in 1819 it was not published until after his death in 1924.

A horror among men! And so my creator fled me, horrified of his creation. And so I fled my place of birth, to seek ...

Wow. It wasn't at all what I expected. There are so many stereotypes about this book that are SOOO off, and I'm glad that I read it and found out what it was really like.
