Review: Frankenstein Book - Can't wait to start reading it. Its a bit thinner than I expected but im sure it will be good
Review: Gothic Suspense! - When I picked up this novel, I didn't expect a fairytale and Shelley by no means disappoints. In this book of solitude and despair, Shelley's work is defined by its gothic genre, yet there are other elements... The descriptions of the majestic Swiss mountains and blue lakes could trick an unwary reader into thinking that this is a romanticist novel and yes there are elements from the Romantic genre but these are counter played by the so very gothic descriptions of death and despair. The reader follows the first person narrative of the protagonist: Victor's tragic tale as he tells his story to Walton, the Arctic explorer whom finds the woeful Victor floating in the Arctic sea. The novel therefore begins where it ends and for this reason I would definitely recommend reading the book twice in order to appreciate fully the foreshadowing from Victor throughout the opening chapters of the novel. I didn't expect to like such a dark and gothic book but I was suprised by Shelley's amazing ability to make a reader feel oddly calm yet incredibly tense through her descriptive and suspenseful Langauge. Definitely worth a read!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The real Frankenstein
*by S***S on 12 October 2010*

If you think that Frankenstein was a dim-witted green monster with a flat head, bolts sticking out his neck and moved slowly in a mummy-like fashion, then please dismiss all such notions from your head as that vision is highly inaccurate. Without spoiling it too much, the monster was not given a name and Frankenstein was the name of the scientist who made the monster. Another mistake that some people make is in giving Victor Frankenstein the title of Dr. Frankenstein, as he never completed his studies. As for the monster itself, it was yellow, moved with immense speed & grace and was extremely well-spoken, having learned English from, amongst other thing, Paradise Lost. The book begins very slowly. There is a lot of background detail given that doesn't really add much to the story and by a quarter of the way through the book, I was considering abandoning the book. Thankfully I didn't, for as the story continued I was drawn in to Shelley's world. The tale touches on themes of ethics in science, love, rejection, denial and a huge dose of revenge. Undoubtedly the best section is the first prolonged conversation that Frankenstein has with his creation. While some sections are tough-going, I would highly recommend this as a classic of literature, and the best antidote to considering Frankenstein as anything like Fred Munster.
