Frankenstein By Mary Shelley

Frankenstein is a book on science fiction by Mary Shelley. Most people know the story of Frankenstein. It is about a scientist that is able to create life but end up creating a monster instead. I have read the first sixty pages which gives you the background of Victor Frankenstein. Victor grows up in Geneva with a generic family. As time passes, his mom passes away as well as others.
