Mad reviewed Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
So different from any of the popular adaptations!
5 stars
You can hear so much of Mary Shelly in this book, it feels like a little glimpse into her life and times, as well as her perspective on the rapidly evolving society of that era. The writing style and themes are so reminiscent of her father's work. I've only finished the story part so far, and not the analytical essays that come with this edition. I want to write down my own thoughts first then see how they compare to the analyses. I might post them on here!
