Frankenstein

Summary: My favorite book
Review: This is my favorite book of all time. It is the most brilliantly written and smart book which exposes the state of human nature as well as any work of fiction. Human nature has the inherent need to feel love and belongingness and Mary Shelly is able to recognize this at age 18. BRILLIANT.

Summary: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a beautiful commentary.
Review: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a beautiful commentary on many moral issues which are still debated today. My students have just finished reading the novel and we decided to write this review together. They wanted to let other students know that even though the language is tough, the story is interesting and the topics are timeless. Many students found the story of the creature to be truly heartbreaking. In conclusion, they give it two thumbs up!

Summary: Frankenstein is such a misunderstood novel.
Review: A lot of people get confused with the"creature" and the Hollywood "monster".That's bad because in the book he's not some green stupid oaf. After seeing his mother die during childbirth,Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with finding a way of eternal life. His obsession leads him to create a creature composed of dead human body parts.After Frankestein sees his creation,he gets his conscience back and tries to destroy it. But he has given his creation the brain of a very smart doctor,and it dosn't want to die . . .

Review: This book is the best book that I have ever read. The author knows alot about the state of human nature, the eternal yearning to belong, and she masterfully puts this idea to life in Frankenstein. Very well written and engrossing plot.

Summary: No wonder it's considered a classic!
Review: I adored Mary Shelley's portrayal of the characters. Victor Frankenstein is a genius with great compassion for humans yet he is also mankind's worst enemy for creating a monster who can destroy them. He is both the villian and the hero, an aspect that is rarely seen. The monster is shrouded by mystery and pain. Being the embodiment of sorrow and human sufferring, he is an amazing symbol of human nature. Mary Shelley captures every emotion felt by her characters so accurately that you can feel the moster's anger and taste Frankenstein's revenge. This is a tremendous novel that reaches out to the reader in an infinite amount of ways. Shelley's use of characters is merely a scratch on surface of the depth and skill in which her themes are written in. A must read for anyone who appreciates fine literature.

Summary: This is an average book.
Review: When I started reading Frankenstein I was a little bit bored, but I expected it to pick up since it is such a popular book. When I got about half way through the book I had gotten a little more into it, but I was still bored. The action scenes that it did have were good though, that is why I gave it three stars. Pretty much all of the parts when there wasn't anything going on but talking I was bored because they weren't talking excitingly. Another thing that I didn't like is that "Frankenstein" made out ot be a horror, but the demon only kills four people in the entire book. Also, when the demon did kill somebody they didn't describe it. It was just something like "I heard screams and went into the room; there she laid dead," or something to that effect.

Summary: Good story yet a little hard to follow
Review: as i was reading this book, i noticed that in some places the words just never seemed to end. The story line was very interesting. i read this book because i had seen the movie and my teacher said it was gothic. the way some things were described really blew me away in a sense that i would have never thought of things like that before. really good book, yet the ending was kind of a drop off.

Summary: This was a great moving horror/love story.
Review: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was a novel that took me into the world of Victor Frankenstein. I could picture the look on Victor's face when he first layed eyes on his creation. The way the creature was described in the book painted a picture in my mind of how the creature looked. All of the in depth descriptions in this book made it an action packed thriller. I would recomend this book to anybody who likes suspense. I thouroughly enjoyed reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
