“I read this for a class while in college - 19th Century Intellectual Thought in Europe. Sounds very dry but the teacher was fantastic and I remember thinking the book was brilliant. Shelley uses the monster as a way of expressing the constraints on thoughts and ideas within the 19th century (if i remember correctly). Glad I read this in class as the underlying philosophy behind it made it an infinitely better read in my opinion.”

“Read this in British lit class...love it. Love the philosophy/symbolism behind the story.”

“Happy when Frankenstein gets his revenge. A classic story of never to judge a book by its' cover.”

“It took me a couple of chapters to get interested, but the suspense picks up. The introduction with the story of Mary Shelley's life is also very interesting.”

“Read this in the 8th grade. Far too advanced, I spent more time in the dictionary than I did reading the book. I should probably reread it.”

“Classic novel that questions what really makes a monster. Way better than any of the alarmingly bad movie adaptations.”

“This timeless story is a classic for a reason!! Just amazing, from the first page I was hooked. Like another reviewer said, if you have not read Frankenstein, you have no idea of the story, no matter how many film adaptations you have watched. Just read it!”
