Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

This is the story about a mad scientist who, with the help of his hunchbacked friend, create a monster from corpses and lightning.  This monster then goes on to terrorize...actually, I'm lying to you.  It's totally not that story.

There is a "monster" that's created, but it's never specified that corpses were used.  Lightning certainly wasn't.  Mr. Frankenstein (not Dr.), created this creature in his apartment.  He then freaked out and left it to wander around his college town and the countryside by itself.  It later learns how to speak perfectly and is apparently a tortured soul who wants a monster wife.  I won't bore you with further details.  If you want to be bored, you can just read the book.  There really isn't a whole lot to the plot, and the book takes forever to get there.

It's not an easy read.  It goes on forever.  It isn't interesting.  I can't recommend this book.
