Frankenstein - Boring
Sorry, this may have been intriguing reading at the time it was written, but it's a terrible bore today, in my opinion. And, also, unfortunately, the subsequent movies and other derivations have so elaborated the story that the original is no longer recognizable as the same story -- and the orginal has very little to recommend it, other than as literary history, I guess.
