Why read it?

1 author picked Love, Sex, and Frankenstein as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This novel was about Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, and her relationships with Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, and how these entanglements influenced her novel, still a classic of horror and science fiction. It is listed as 'feminist' but it's really more of a look at the tangled relationships of the poets and writers of the era, who lived outside of 'polite society' with extra marital affairs and the like. The writing had a gothic feel and the characters were well-drawn and true to what I have read.
