Short summery of the book.

The book is the first original Frankenstein book to ever be written, previously in 1831, by Mary Shelly. I had read before other Frankenstein books but never the original one until now and it has been the most interesting so far. To make this a short summery, Frankenstein is the doctor who created the monster in the story. In the story, the monster has many characteristics of humans but very horrible looks. People very disrespectfully treat him; in fact many try to kill him. His looks always stand in the way of his happiness. Due to all this, the monster gets very depressed in the story, he tries to find his creator to ask him why this is all happening to him; he tries to also talk to people and explain to them his situation but everyone turned him down and ran away from him.
