I think this book is completely a classic and pretty well-known. It was funny to read the book and realize small misconceptions like how the creator of the monster was actually named Frankenstein. The story follows a Man named Victor Frankenstein as he delves into an experiment to create life, and once he does the monster follows him trying to win his love and attention, but Victor responds in fear and hatred. This causes the monster to follow Victor and torment his life. I really enjoyed this book.
I loved The Great Gatsby a lot. I loved the way F. Scott Fitzgerald described the scenery, and the detail to the color also added another layer of symbolism. The story was very interesting, it followed a rich man named Gatsby as he tries to woo his love, Daisy, away from her husband during the 1920s. Daisy’s cousin is the narrator who watches from afar. This book is honestly a classic and I think I enjoyed the writing style more than the actual book.

I originally read this book having no background about it. I only learned about the reason for the narrator's emotionless monologue or his epiphany near the end of the book after I had finished reading it. Because of this I don't feel right deducting stars due to my own confusion about the purpose of the book. The Stranger follows a man named Meursault. I can't give much without spoiling the book, but it delves into his psyche after events in his life, some traumatic, some loving.
