Summary: Excellent plot, But tended to drone on one thing for to long
Review: This was an excellent read with a twisting and turning plot. That made you afradi of the dark at night and found yourself looking behind your back during the day. But Mary Shelley tended to drone and she tended to turn an excellent plot into a boring one. This novel does teach you valuable lessons about life and human nature, that are fascinating and intriuging. Overall this was a good book that would have been better with a more experienced author and less complicated writing.

Summary: I thought Frankenstein was cool until I read the real story
Review: This book had a really good idea for a story. Too bad she couldn't describe feelings to save her life. Its amazing that in less than a year, a monster, made from dead criminals can learn to speak better than i have been able to in my entire life. By the way? Where did he get the pieces of dead people? Yeah, he just walked in the local morgue and picked up the pieces he needed. Sure. Well if you have any thing that you need to get done DO IT BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK. I didn't think anyone could make a 160 page book seem so long! And talk about repetative. Well I think I made my point.

Summary: Good Idea, Poor Conversion From Idea To Words
Review: The idea of the book was very intelligent and interesting, dealing with rights and wrongs, accomplisments, actions and there consequences. But the book, to me, was written poorly. When reading the novel, my mind always wandered becasue of the dragging on of events. It used difficult language, uncommon words, and was saturated with too many words. The 160 page novel could have easily been shrinked down into an 100 page story. It was repititive in its ideas and difficult to concentrate on. It's not the worst book I've read for school, but I would definelty not read this book in my leisure time.

Summary: The Classic
Review: Frankenstein is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. The novel tells the chilling story of an ambitious young scientist and his chance to play God. But the creature turns on him, and a struggle between creator and creation ensues. The story has been changed so many times since it was written so it was interesting to read the original. As in all literature, fancy and elaborate descriptions take precedence over the action of the plot. Frankenstein is a classic horror story even though is hard to read at times.

Summary: A review of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein."
Review: We rate this book four star for a few reasons,which apply to how we understood the context of the story. The book gives you a good understanding of the emotions of the creature named Frankenstein. It brings you in to all the pain and misery that the creature suffered ever since he was created by Victor Frankenstein. This is a book that will affect your outlook on life and how you treat other people. It shows examples of many emotions such as curiousity, love, kindness, and revenge. We discovered the fatal mistakes of Victor Frankenstein, when he created his monster through the blindness of ambition. Though the story was of course at times suspenseful and violent, it is also a romantic love story between Victor and his adopted sister Elizabeth.

Summary: this book is very interesting and enjoyable
Review: Mary Shelley did a phenominal job with this book. The fact that it was only meant as a time-passer adds to the books power. The story is very well defined, and there are no hard places to follow. There are however, a few places that could be cut with no harm being done to the novel. That is to be expected with every book though. The true feelings of all of the characters can be felt throughout. Most everyone thinks of the monster as being just that, a terrible, hideous monster. That isn't the way Mary Shelley meant for him to be veiwed as though. His feelings can be felt, and they are profound. Shelley's Frankenstein is a great book. READ IT!

Summary: Horrible! MUST READ REVIEW!
Review: the book explains the story in such a slow way it makes the reader go to sleep while reading! i didn't believe that was possible until i read the book. it is so difficult to understand. the theme is good but it has bad wording. the creature starts out knowing no english. all the sudden he knows big words that english scholars can't even understand. this book puts the "BAD" in "horrible". i know that doesn't makes sense but neither does the book.

Summary: Extremely Boring
Review: Mary Shelley brings up a well argued topic. Who has the authority to bestow life upon a creature? That is about the only thing that holds water in the book. The book starts out boring................ and stays boring. She wants to write a chilling horror story or a romantic novel, but she only skims the surface. The only exciting thing about the book that gets you hooked is the vividly designed cover.

Summary: Reader beware your in for the dull trip of your life!
Review: This is one book that you shouldn't even spend the light of day to even read. The reason towards this is because it was dull boring and put me to sleep. I had to read this for school and didn't think the beginng was so bad but then I hit the bad spot it was the worse thing I ever read. It has its good points but few of them. Just don't waste your time on this.

Summary: Must-read Classic
Review: Frankenstein is part of our literary heritage. Halloween would not be complete without images of a large green monster wearing bolts in his neck. However, the origins of this monster conceal a horror far greater than the character popular culture has embraced. For me, it is not the actions of the monstrous laboratory experiment that frighten me, but the act of the monster's creation itself. Mary Shelley created a novel that places the act of creation into the hands of one man, an idea which eliminates the necessity of the female sex. Technology has usurped the need for male-female partnership. What a horrific idea! Dr. Victor Frankenstein was terrified of female power. His feelings of torment concerning his fiancee, including a particularly unsettling dream passage concerning her, led him to strip the female sex of child-bearing responsibility. If a single man can create another man then natural laws no longer apply, the male and female of a species no longer live in symbiosis. This is the fantastic premise behind this classic horror novel. Some of the writing is crude; one instance in particular is when the monster teaches himself to read after conveniently finding a satchel of books by the side of the road. This is an example of the inexperience Shelley had as a writer; however such breaks in the story are minimal and should not overly detract from the reader's enjoyment. This is a wonderful book.
