Customer Rating:

Summary: Nicastro, High School English teacher is wrong.
Comment: This paperback, published by Simon and Schuster, is NOT a bowdlerized edition. Instead it is the 1818 version, one preferred by many scholars.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Story-exceptional; Book-poor quality
Comment: Shelley's Frankenstein is a really touching story, well-told. You must let go of your memories of the movie to appreciate it. It reveals the suffering of an outsider in the 2nd part where the Creature is observing a loving family and longing to be part of some family, contrasting it with being abandoned by his only parent, Dr. Frankenstein. Also introduces the idea of humans overstepping the lines of nature by creating life and the doubts end guilt associated with genetic engineering.
This paperback, is difficult to read because of the closeness of the margins and the binding. But then, it is cheap, and not a collector's item.

Summary: Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
Comment: I bought this for my son for a school reading assignment. He did not like the book at all. Me, on the other hand, I liked it. I read it years & years ago but I enjoyed it the 2nd time around.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Horrible writing.
Comment: One word. "Endeavor"

This word was used ATLEAST 4 times a page on every page of the book when Victor is talking.

By the last half of the book, I was so fed up with her lack of vocabulary that I just could not stand to read it anymore.

Horribly written. Decent plot, though. I will give her that.
