Review: Frankenstein

Frankenstein Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Snowcapped mountains, beautiful scenery, a view of Mont blanc, a happy and thriving family, honest and caring friends, a comfortable house and fairly rich owners. What more a person can wish or desire for happiness and comfort. How life or nature has its ways of snatching away all happiness and putting it's best creature to perils and torments. Is misery the real destination of man or is it the man himself who creates misery by searching or craving for powers too strong and ultimately ravaging for him. Do these questions have answers. Is our understanding of human life is overrated or overestimated. Has history been able to provide us with some answers or some analogies to refer...

Yet we try and we try to understand, to reach and test the limits thinking we have no limits ourselves. We promote it and where it has lead us and where it is leading us. This book is a story of one such try.
