It's worth more than a 4-star but not a 5. Once I got past the old-style writing, I enjoyed this book very much. The story is incredible and not what I had expected it to be. I guess I never really knew what the story of Frankenstein was. Found that it was an easier read when the monster was doing the narrating. All-in-all, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.... Show more

I really think the concept of this book is wonderful, but the execution of her ideas is just plain awful. A seriously near-terrible book. My margins are filled with non-stop exasperated comments. If you want to read something old and gothic and amazing, seriously, Bram Stoker's Dracula is the one.... Show more

Usuaally when reading books for school I don't like reading them since I assume they were boring but this one was actually a nice read. The waythe story flowed from Walton's letters and into Victor Frankenstein's story was nice and then you resume to the letters. We had to annotate it which made me really understand the book, more than I wiuld before and had footnotes to passages we read earlier in the year and I realize now why we read them :) Please take time to read it!...

I am not a fan of classics. The language confuses me a lot. Read this for a English novel study. Didn't like Victor at all :/ so irresponsible, breaks promises, just a jerk in general. The monster was okay and a pretty great creature. The ending was really sudden, didn't expect that at all.... Show more

Great classic
I bought this because my teenage son started reading this in his high school class. He was so into the story, that he wanted to have a copy of his own. I read it several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.... Show more
