Hello, I was about to buy a book and was thinking of grabbing Frankenstein. I’m really wondering if it is worth reading. Any ideas or insights, since books in our country are quite expensive? I am a newbie and haven’t read a lot, but I enjoy reading. My past reads were:
Midnight Library (my first book and favorite 🥹)
Jane Eyre
Metamorphosis
I am also thinking of grabbing Billy Summers by Stephen King, so I’m choosing between Frankenstein and Billy Summers. Thank you for your suggestions!

Do not buy Frankenstein lol. Get it at the library to make sure you can make it 1/4 thru the book.
It’s a brilliant book — but there’s no need to buy a copy if you’re OK reading e-books, as it is out of copyright so is plentifully available.
It’s an excellent book; it’s written in the English of its day, so it can appear dense, but it’s not overly so. Victor Frankenstein is an arrogant dick, it’s important to know that going in.
