If you read this book in high school and hated it, I suggest you re-read it. I was captivated by the struggle of both the monster and his creator. Were the prose dated? Of course. As readers and lovers of the journey the written word leads us on, we must embrace the masters of the past to recognize the genius of the present. The rhythm will become familiar as you open your mind to the a simpler time before iPads and the internet. Don't worry. These things will still be here when you put the book down. You may even enjoy stepping back in time for a bit. I certainly did.
