Please don't listen to anyone on here whining about "Oooh Frankentein's not even the monster and nothing even happens. I mean where's all the blood and gore? >:(". This book isn't an action thriller so read a different book if that's what you're looking for. Frankenstein is a story about the dangers of unchecked science and the moral implications of certain scientific discoveries. I've seen a few people mention cloning but in my opinion the monster is closer to an AI so if you're into robotics or artificial intelligence you might like this book.
