Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyI am further along in this novel and I have reached the part where Dr. Frankenstein meets his creature (he had rejected it shortly after it's creation and it had fled); so now we have an Inception-like feature--within Dr. Frankenstein's story (within the letters) is the creature's story. This is a somewhat interesting account of a fully cognizant being learning how to communicate and about the cruelty of humanity. This story isn't anything like any of the movies made of it, but it is still fascinating. Mary Shelly brings out relational and psychological aspects of the characters that I think is sometimes missing from modern literature. So far this novel is better than I thought it would be because it is so different.
