Transformative
5By Dad1825 This book somehow to capture the experience of being human through the eyes of someone who is no longer human. Feels like a dark mirror…Epic Book but Hated the Characters
4By Elk_MooseI loved the book and the story (Mary Shelley is awesome), but I didn’t like any of the main characters (Frankenstein & his monster/creation) - they all had some major character flaws that just didn’t make me want to empathise with themThe face of the Romantic Era
1By Alondra WangThis story is very telling of the period when it was written, the Romantic Era. Frankenstein is a heartbreaking tale about the horrible tendencies of man. It is a classic example of a story that gets you to learn two sides to a very complicated story. Things are not always quite simple!MARY SHELLY IS MY DREAMGIRL
