Publisher Description
The first work of science fiction, this story challenges readers to remove the abstractions of fantasy to seriously consider the meaning of the ideas put forth. What responsibility does a creator have to its sentient creations? How can a being exiled from society, based solely upon what they look like, ever be kind? Set some time aside to explore these and other questions for yourself in this cultural touchstone: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
Customer Reviews
Classic Worth Reading
Pretty good classic. Though the language can be a bit confusing to some readers. It is possible to let past it and still enjoy the story. It does drag a bit in the middle when (spoiler alert) the monster sits down with Frankenstein and discusses the family in the cabin he stalked. That part dragged on a bit more than needed. That aside though, this was such a fun book to read.
