For a story so intricately tied to the main character's mental state, it's remarkable how much time is spent on mindless action sequences. It's the worst sort of negative spiral: There's so much action that you don't have time to connect with the characters, and because you don't care about the characters the action becomes boring.

This could have been an amazing movie.

The sort of story that connects with anybody, effortlessly. Coupled with absolutely delightful animation that makes even the most subtle actions a joy to watch.

Think of everything you've ever heard of about Dr. Frankenstein's monster - that moaning, groaning, imbecilic abomination. Now throw all of that out the window, because the original novel is so startlingly different (and surprisingly good!) that it may as well be completely unrelated.

Every year this seems less and less like fiction. Has greatly informed my thoughts on education and the future of computer science.

This is the story of a good man, forged by a terrible crucible into a great man. Timeless and gripping.

Hauntingly well-written. Unforgettable characters. Demonstrates an understanding of human nature that I can only strive for.

A work of art - so painfully, breathtakingly good that you'll never be able to watch TV the same way again.
