The Creation Scene

"It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." -pg 35

The whole creation lf the monster scene greatly disappointed me. Of course we all have our own misconceptions about the story of Frankenstein, but I expected a little more drama than that. At least a little more description of the "traumatic" event. There is a description of the novel on the back of the book, and "few creatures of horror" and "suspense" is used to describe the story line. Needless to say, I was rather upset with the infamous creation scene. He didn't even say "IT'S ALIIIIVEEEEE!" and the monster is not green..?? Hopefully there is real "horror" and "suspense" to come in the next half of the novel.
