Mary ShelleyFrankenstein (Wordsworth Classics)

If you want to improve your English you couldn't fund a better book. The vocabulary is out of this world. Tge structure if the book is faxinatibg - a story within a story within a stroy encapsulated in 4 letters.My next project is writing a book explaining how to read this book.Go for it!😀

When I picked up this novel, I didn't expect a fairytale and Shelley by no means disappoints. In this book of solitude and despair, Shelley's work is defined by its gothic genre, yet there are other elements... The descriptions of the majestic Swiss mountains and blue lakes could trick an unwary reader into thinking that this is a romanticist novel and yes there are elements from the Romantic genre but these are counter played by the so very gothic descriptions of death and despair. The reader follows the first person narrative of the protagonist: Victor's tragic tale as he tells his story to Walton, the Arctic explorer whom finds the woeful Victor floating in the Arctic sea. The novel therefore begins where it ends and for this reason I would definitely recommend reading the book twice in order to appreciate fully the foreshadowing from Victor throughout the opening chapters of the novel. I didn't expect to like such a dark and gothic book but I was suprised by Shelley's amazing ability to make a reader feel oddly calm yet incredibly tense through her descriptive and suspenseful Langauge. Definitely worth a read!

I hate this book so much I’m FORCED to do it for school however the quality of this book is good and when i’m writing annotations the ink doesn’t transfer so it’s good the books just mad boring for me😂

Brilliant buy many thanks

It's a classic, what can I say! I'm introducing it to my daughter. The cover is brilliant and makes it appealing to younger audiences. The book is well made and a great bargain. Happy to recommend this.

Very good! Thanks.

Always wanted read this story. Overall good, but Frankenstein is such a winger...... Mary Shelley goes on a bit too much on things that do not matter and quickly skims over topics/subjects that do. Best part of book is the 'creature' explaining his life experience from his point of view. I do see why the story is ground breaking for its time and good to see it is a long way from the square head, bolts in neck moron that 'Hollywood' has made the creature to be in the eyes of most people.

It’s nothing special as the book is only small and it isn’t a hard back book, but you get what you pay for I suppose! It’s perfect for those who love horror and emo type stories. Would definitely give it it a try!
