Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Frakenstein
An incredible book that I only wish I had read earlier in my life. Once I started the book I had difficulty putting it back down except to do the things that I was obliged to do. I loved the book completely, but I am still after finishing it unsure what my thoughts and feelings are towards Victor Frakenstein or his monster. I want to feel compassion for the monster in his only desire for love and to not be alone but at the same time I fear that if I had met him in the city that I would scream in ... Read More
Rating: - This edition allows Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin-Shelley to shine

The creature's desire for friendship mirrors Dr. Victor Frankenstein's desire to confide his secret to someone "normal."
Our author, the wife of English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, wrote "Frankenstein" ... Read More
Rating:  - Better than I thought
The book, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, really surprised me. I thought it would be a boring book, with language I didn't understand, and a plot I couldn't get into. But let me tell you I was WRONG. Yeah, it did start a little slow but once you got amerced into the plot of the creature and Frankenstein's hatred for one another, you couldn't really say you had enough of it.
In this book it starts off with letters from a boat captain to his sister, then we get to see Frankenstein's story, inside that ... Read More
