I downloaded the book because I always found the story interesting (one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen is “Young Frankenstein”), but this book was a slow read because it was told in formal English. To me, if it was told in contemporary English, it would have been more enjoyable. I powered through it, though.

so i had to read this for honors english but it honestly really made an impact. for all that i had heard about this novel, never in a million years would i have expected the contents to be about humanity and grief and companionship and overall emotional, impactful themes. mary shelley truly is a genius and i cannot wait to reread this book !!

it was a great book. Very understanding and understandable. In some parts, I cried they were really sad. but it was a great book.☺️

Always wanted to read this book never had the chance. I’m glad I did. I must read.

A lot of people will tell you that the true monster is Victor Frankenstein, But I feel that to be an unfair assertion. From an objectively human perspective, is Victor wrong to be disgusted by his creation? Is he erroneous in his ambition? I find it unrealistic to suddenly adopt a paternal role to something he never expected to take form in the first place. All in all, really good read that calls into question the roles a creator has in his creations.

Pretty good classic. Though the language can be a bit confusing to some readers. It is possible to let past it and still enjoy the story. It does drag a bit in the middle when (spoiler alert) the monster sits down with Frankenstein and discusses the family in the cabin he stalked. That part dragged on a bit more than needed. That aside though, this was such a fun book to read.
