When people say that the book is better than the movie, they really mean it. Frankenstein is a wonderful novel, full of expressions and feelings one could never find in a movie. The descriptions are marvelous, and the horror is very much apparent.
I think this could be the only book whose lamentations have made me sob.
Still, I wasn't exactly satisfied with the portion during the creature's creation and immediately after. I think there could have been more to that part of the story.
