Monstrous
4 stars
This was good - I read it straight after Dracula and perhaps enjoyed it a little less.
Lots of themes from this book echo into media and writing today. While it's telling the story of a monster, it's really about what it means to be human - an absolutely required trope in almost all science fiction these days, from Spock, to Data, to Pinocchio, Castiel, and E.T.
