This was a reread as I have to study this book, whereas I’m glad I reread it. The first read through I must’ve been in an awful mood as I hated it and gave it one star, but revisiting it, it was actually pretty good. The protagonist is largely dislikable of which I enjoy in a book, and honestly the monster is really wholesome and completely justified in his actions. The book raises a lot of questions about morality, society, and ultimately brings into question who is really at fault for the actions that unfold, the creator or the monster, which can be applied to an individual versus product of society system in the current day. It also bearings into question science and ideas very applicable to modern times and the generation of AI, that being just because we can create something, should we? Therefore, from an analytical level the book is really good, the plot itself can be a bit underwhelming at times, but I am glad I have given it a second chance and altered my opinion on the book.
