Frankenstein: or The Modern Prometheus Audiobook

" She was, what, 20 when she wrote this?!?! Whatever! "

" Re-re-(re?)-read to teach to a freshman class at NYU Shanghai. Norton Critical Edition. Always a good one for classroom discussion and big-idea setups for more contemporary texts. "

" This book was not terrible by any means. My problem was I went into this book with the expectation of it being like the movie with Boris Karloff. I didn't hate this story, but it really couldn't capture my interest since I was waiting for the story to become like the movie. "

" FANTASTIC story of love and abandonment. It was well worth the read:) "

" People who only have the general idea of Frankenstein must be surprised. You'd be expecting a real monster, but you'll end up finding a misunderstood creature who just want someone to love him. "

" The monster's threats on the mountain top took the book from a 0 Star to a 5. I've carried so many debates and discussions with family and friends on how this book elevated just let alone from the monster's growth and development. "

" Frankenstien's monster is just like Beast from xmen, but evil... "

" I love this book more and more each time I read it! "

" I am not a fan of classics. The language confuses me a lot. Read this for a English novel study. Didn't like Victor at all :/ so irresponsible, breaks promises, just a jerk in general. The monster was okay and a pretty great creature. The ending was really sudden, didn't expect that at all. "

" One of my favorites on the required reading list. "

" I'm not a huge fan of the epistolary style of writing but this was delivered really well. Although, this is a really slow starter. It took a while to get to the point or of anything exciting. I'm glad that I held out because it was worth the read. "

" It wasn't the monster's fault! "

" I assigned this book to my senior English class so I thought that I'd better read it again. I'm so glad for the assignment and the reread. It's full of great questions and so pertinent in today's push of scientific limits/boundaries. "

" We read this book for English. I liked it. "

" Loved the writing--very scary and thought-provoking. "

" Victor Frankenstein, apparently never having been taught about sex, creates life by himself in his college apartment. Hilarity ensues. "

" It had a lot of potential. I loved the changes in narrative perspective. But the writing was so unengaging and somewhat objective, like viewing the action through a distant, cloudy window. The action was too slow. "

" I looked past this book for many years until I decided to try out a few classics. Very glad I did. It's a really well written book and I encourage anyone to read it. "

" I love the narrative style that effortlessly weaves between Walton's letters to his sister, Frankstein's first-person account of his life and struggles, and chapters told from the monster's perspective. What can I say? It ain't a classic for nothing. "

" Mary Shelley's classic story of a young doctor's quest for mortality gone very wrong. His created creature murders all he loves to try to get the doctor to create a mate for himself. "

" Read this for book group. It was very different than what I expected. Frankenstein reminded me more of Big Foot than the monster I expected. It explores some interesting subjects such as what makes us human, the fruits of a revenge-driven life, etc. "

" A work of genius for its time. "

" Um livro realmente impressionante. A definição de "horror gótico". "

" I can't believe it too me this long to read Frankenstein. Beautiful. Absolutely wonderful. Shelley truly created a masterpiece with this work. "
