Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Frankenstein (Signet Classics)

Book Review: thoroughly enjoyable and introspective
Summary: 5 Stars

If you have ever sat down to watch a horror movie from anything dating back to the 80s or earlier, it is usually for the purpose of getting a few laughs (those are special effects?!?),but the horror in the book is quite tangible. The most fascinating aspect of the novel is the transformation of the monster - initially the reader is repulsed at the creature, and then as they learn the monster's biography, humanitarian feelings of pity and of sympathy is all that the monster deserves. Hatred towards Frankenstein grows - due to his selfish thirst for knowledge, the downfall of him, his family, and his creation is inevitable. Easy to read, Shelley's descriptive language and moving plot keep the reader continually turning the pages to discover the next twist. Told in frames, Frankenstein is a classic - the origin of all horror.
