One of my all-time favorite books. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist, creates a human creature from pieces of dead humans, brings it to life, then flees from it in terror, abandoning it. The book follows the story of what happens to this creature, and how he acts toward his maker (Victor). This is a very heavy book, truly horrifying and unbelievably sad, yet eloquent and moving, hitting on the deepest questions of what it means to be human.
