Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley

 Unlike almost all movies I've seen. Not that big a fan of 19c lit, but this story is good. Especially considering the age of the author when she wrote it. Wowsa.

Spoilers follow:

My goodness. How did Frankenstein not see that coming? We all knew the Monster meant Elizabeth. Good God, man, wake up! You shudda made the bride for him. 

Spoilers end.

Read this on Audible, which was great. The narrator was Dan Stevens and damn he was great. Managed different accents, his Irish was especially good. 

We read this as my wife's choice in the family book club, based on our youngest reading it in her freshman English lit class. We all liked it. Now we have to (force our youngest to) watch Young Frankenstein!
