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
Well written but dark
This was a good but very gloomy book. It did not have a happy ending and the whole story was about misery and destruction. If you’re looking for a fun or lighthearted book this is not for you.
A Classic for a reason
An exceptional book, made all the more so that it was written more than 200 years ago and remains exceptional. That cannot be said of all classics.
