Frankly, This is More Frightening

I was incredibly surprised. Popular culture's promotion of what "Frankenstein" is all about is notably distorted from the original novel. I remember watching the black-and-white version as a kid and it was nothing like the book. The book is phenomenal...

I was blown away by Shelley's writing and how so many themes were explored throughout the novel (which is captivating just as a story): human knowledge & technology, loneliness, the value of friendship, the majesty of nature, the power of written texts, God's heart for humanity, and taking affection for granted....

All in all, there's a reason certain books stand the test of time.
