Review: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley


As I'm one of the few people who has never watched any of the many 'Frankenstein' movies, I went into this book not knowing what I would find and I'm so glad I did. This isn't a book about science or merely bringing someone back from the dead, as I expected, it is about mistakes, guilt and love. I ended up feeling sorry for Frankenstein and feeling a hatred toward the monster he created. In a way, I feel like this book could have been about a hundred pages longer if there was only more description and expansion; it's a shame there wasn't. Overall, though, I was happily surprised by this book.
