One of my favorite books of all time! I reread it every year.

I like how this book includes the author's biography, and gives some background to the story, explanations about the time it was written, and the setting of the book. That helped me to understand the book a little bit more

I enjoyed the nesting stories and overall premise; I disliked Victor the whiny villain, I mean wretch. The monster was frustratingly inconsistent; going from moaning to erudition very rapidly. Good horror or drama, not so good science fiction.

A great read. I see now why it is still considered a great classic. There were a few parts that were slow but, for the most part, I didn't get bored while reading it. This will most definitely be a classic I will read again and again.

If you think you know the story of Frankenstein from the movies, and there have been 66 of them, you must read Mary Shelley's original version with Leonard Wolf's annotations. You will realize that the story really reflects the life of Mary Shelley and P.B. Given that Mary was only 17 when she wrote this there is a world of knowledge she incorporated into her text and is forever admired by scholars like Wolf. Definitely worth the read.

The first couple chapters are a bit slow but once you get past them it's great. Also the dialogue doesn't really flow like actual speech. It's kind of funny to imagine people actually trying to talk like that.

Very disappointed in this. Seemed to be a lot of inner thoughts from Victor with very little action or plot advancements. Hearing his constant passion for learning, or turmoil, or regrets did nothing to add tension or progress the story. I found myself frequently skimming passages that felt repetitive. This might also have been attributed to the fact that there are several 'narrators' or perspectives rather, but they all sounded the same which left it a bit dry. Maybe I've been tempered by too much Hollywood adaptations, but it still felt like more should have happened (or been more intriguing).

More suited for a high school research report than a casual read. Nonetheless, a good book to dive into during the weekend!

One of my favourite books!

ehhh, I know this is a classic, but I couldn't get into this. Guessing it may have been the old English writing and descriptions on things and feelings that went on and on. Didn't connect with the characters, so it was a challenge to read and finish finally.
