Frankenstein (Word Cloud) | Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

pick

First off, it was interesting that the book was a story within a story and had 3 narrators (Walton, Frankenstein, and the Creature). That was something I wasn‘t expecting but it worked.

The star of the story was the Creature (aka Frankenstein‘s monster). The Creature was the epitome of being othered. He was so misunderstood and just wanted to belong and feel loved.

Made myself a mini bingo card for the next few days, as a potential distraction from everything (since I'm traveling tomorrow to attend the interment of my grandparents' ashes). If I don't manage anything, that's fine. If I read other books that's also fine. If I can get a blackout, woooo.

(I know I still have squares on #BookSpinBingo card to fill but a) this helps with that and b) there's enough to go that I was having difficulty with choices.)

TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryHoarderPenny Thanks for that, because I'm having a hard time getting into it. But I feel encouraged to give it more time 😊 2d

bookandbedandtea I was looking at this on my shelf over the weekend. It sounds great but it's soooo huge. I deferred it again. 😬 2d

julieclair Good for you! 2d

LiteraryHoarderPenny @TheBookgeekFrau I listened to it, but I don‘t know if that would help. I hope it gets better for you! 1d

TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryHoarderPenny Listening to books doesn't work for me, my mind wonders too much lol But, thank you, I've read some more and am getting into it....for now 😅 1d

TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair And Thanks to *You* for this challenge!💞 You are the fire beneath my chunkster avoiding ass 😂 1d

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea The first 30 or pages had me really regretting my decision. But I figured I had to at least give it to 50. I'm currently on 52 and getting into it. 1d

TheAromaofBooks Good luck!!! 1d

TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks Thanks!! 😊 23h

Aims42 This was one that I did finish but I should‘ve just bailed. Not my cup of tea 👎 2d

TheBookgeekFrau @Aims42 I'm glad I'm not alone in this! 😅 I just don't get all the love this book got 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego This was boring AF, but I think that was intentional to make the ending more impactful. It all kind of pops off at the end. But I didn't really find it worthwhile. And if I remember correctly, the epilogue pissed me off. 2d

TheBookgeekFrau @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego So boring!! What good is an impactful ending if you put your readers to sleep before they get there? 🤣 I couldn't even care about the characters who seemed like dust sheets draped over the furniture 2d

Aims42 @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego UGH! The epilogue almost made me throw the book across the room! I remember thinking, “I finished it for this?!?!?” And being super mad too 🤣 2d

Aims42 @TheBookgeekFrau Definitely not alone 🩷 2d

I went into this book blind, so I was not sure what to expect. A bored kidnapped teenager with Stockholm Syndrome? Let's just say, I was surprised with how the story developed.
