Boo to "Dr" Frankenstein
Spoiler alert: I am pretty dang disappointed in Mr. Victor. Did he really think the monster was after him and not Elizabeth on his wedding night? I didn't even realize he thought his monster was after him until 3 paragraphs before the climax. But honestly, after all those years of education and previous strikes of murder Victor let the monster who he created (and shares some remarkable similarities with) destroy his only remaining source of joy?? And he didn't even seem to have an attack plan were his monster to go after him! I mean yeah he carried a revolver but for the superior qualities of the monster I would use something 3 times the power of a hand gun. I enjoyed the book a lot but it's always a disappointing when the main character goes daft in the head.

For all of his brains he was quite short on common sense. Hey I know a lot of people like that!
