The novel that (in the minds of many) started the genre of science fiction. This original portrayal of Frankenstein's monster is much more interesting than our modern depiction of the slow, unintelligent beast. The story does hold up really well despite being 200 years old, but if you're not already a fan of 19th century prose, it's not the easiest read. ( ![]() I had somehow missed reading this classic over the years - don't make this mistake. There's a reason this has become part of the culture - a story not only of horror but of wonder, despair and the human condition, wonderfully written. This replication of an original edition is particularly nice as well. Highly recommended - a few falters and gaps in the narrative, but a book deserving of it's reputation as a classic. I read the book on Standard Ebooks, which is Project Gutenberg if Project Gutenberg had nicer formatting. I'll try to use their service instead of Gutenbergs in the future, since the reading experience is more consistent. In a fit of passion, the protagonist imbues lifeless matter with life, thus creating Frankenstein. Frankenstein is ostracized because of his nightmarish appearance even though he wishes to do good, so he demands of his creator to make a companion like him. The creator declines—so Frankenstein ruins his life. I expected more horror from the book, but it wasn't in the slightest scary. Frankenstein is Frankenstein, everyone knows him, if only as cartoonish Halloween decoration. I hope Robert Walton got back safely, he can probably live comfortably off of the publishing and selling of the story. Things I learned 1. Nothing like the Mel Brooks movie 2. Viktor Frankenstein was a weepy little bitch 3. Interesting when viewed as one of the first horror novels, yet the monster was more human than expected I read this the summer after I graduated from high school, during my massive Shelley crush. What I learned was that Mary was every bit as awesome as her husband. Victor, oh Victor. You self-obsessed fool.
