Nikiya A.: I don't want to spoil the story for potential readers, but it makes you CRY a lot. I had to read this book for my AP Literature class 1.5 ago for summer break. At first, I wasn't interested because I didn't want to read during the summer break, but this novel was very intriguing

Britney: Prior to reading this, the only understanding I had of Frankenstein is what I’ve seen in movies. It was interesting to read about how Victor Frankenstein is the scientist and creator instead of always believing the creatures name is Frankenstein. I enjoyed reading the portions about Victor’s family and also about how he used traveling and spending time in nature as a treatment for his depression. I had always thought the creature didn’t speak or think. After reading this I was surprised at how the creature was able to observe people in the village and learn to speak, read, and think. He was able to learn from observing. And ultimately, was able to communicate with his creator what he desired; he was able to express that he longed for a spouse and having a family of his own to belong to. He wanted to be accepted by society and his creator but that would never come to be. I also liked analyzing the different class structures within the story that related to class struggles during the time it was written. I recommend this to anyone who is only familiar with film adaptations.

C-rock: I just started a new job visiting ppl at home. This has been the perfect thing to help me use the gps on my phone without looking away from the road. It is easy to attach and adjust to the angle you want. I am so happy with it.

Karl: Great story. So very different from popular cultures interpretation of the story.

Tim: This is one of my favourite books. I'm not precious about it being hardback. I have only recently got into reading and it was one of the first things I read. Something about the heavily descriptive writing gets me. I only wish I could write a review to do it justice.

An excellent book to read; not like the films based upon it.
It is very advanced for its time.

SCHPOUNZ: L'impression, d'abord qui au premier regard coupe l'envie de faire l'effort de lire dans une langue qui n'est pas ma langue maternelle et qui demande, par voie de conséquences, un effort

Xephrit: The books is fine, but there are some typos in the book, which are kind of irritating. The cover is one of the matte covers that pick up fingerprints, which isn't very pleasing to the eye, but since I just bought it for a class, and it worked fine for that. However, if you want a book that will look nice on your shelf, this is not it.
