"I have seen the mountains of La Valais, and the Pays de Vaud: but this coutnry, Victor, pleasees majestic and strange; but there is a charm in the banks of this divine river that I never before saw equalled."
Shelley includes a lot of detail throughout the book which is imperative to the reader's understanding. Detail allows the reader to know the setting a little better. The book is set in many different places including Geneva, Switzerland, Ireland, England, etc. If the reader hasn't been to any of these places, then detail regarding the geography or location of certain things is important. The detail throughout the novel also helps to create suspense. The reader has more knowledge of the eerie setting and therefore can anticipate another visit from the monster. Shelley's detail of Victor and Clerval's adventure help to characterize the two as well. Their interests and personalities are described at length in the novel.
