Helloo again. So this text is 191 pages long and I have just finished reading page 103ish. I am enjoying the story so far and was surprised at how little the monster's creation is emphasised in comparison to all the film adaptations. For example in the films you see the monster a lot, but in the novel it's slightly different. I also thought Frankenstein's brother William was killed a lot sooner than I expected, but I think I preferred it as it re-introduced the monster into Frankenstein's life in a really scary and tense way.
At the moment the narrative has changed hands into the Monster and he is telling the tale of his life since Frankenstein abandoned him and he ran away. I am enjoying this extra detail about what the monster has been doing and the story of the family he is living near and observing. For example I was never aware of the story of the man Felix and his Turkish bride before, and so am enjoying this extra dimension to the story.
Not much to say really as I am not going to recount the story in this blog as that would just be pointless. Basically I think I'm almost at the bit where the monster is going to ask Frankenstein to create him a female companion.
Cool. Onward with the Frankenstein.
