I was avoiding reading your entry until I did. I think it's funny -- I picked up on some of the exact things you did. So much coincidence! Such a clever monster! And, oh, the weaknesses of the lower classes. Aren't we glad we're so much more refined than they are? Of course, as I tweeted to you, my favorite part was where Clerval rhapsodized on the beauties of the Rhein between Mainz and Koblenz. Yes! It hasn't changed in 100 years. Still one of the prettiest places in the world. And can you believe how Victor gets sick every time anything upsetting happens? How convenient. Now, while I did lose weight like crazy & had a bad cold when some devastating events in my life happened, why did I not think of taking to my bed for two months and forcing others to care for me? Oh, and the monster says "I'll be with you on your wedding night," and it never enters Victor's head that Elizabeth is the target, not himself? What's up with that? Liz, I finally finished the book.
