Perfect for my morning commute

I kept pausing to think about what I just heard. That's the mark of a good book for me — when it makes you stop and actually reflect. Frankenstein did that consistently.

One of my favourite finds this year

Not a single chapter felt like filler. Mary Shelley respects your time and delivers value throughout. Went in expecting decent, came out genuinely impressed.

Stopped everything to finish this

There are books you finish and forget. Then there are books like Frankenstein that you keep going back to mentally. This is the second kind. Brilliant.

The narrator makes it even better

My partner overheard me listening and ended up sitting down with me for the rest of it. We're both still talking about it. That's not nothing.
