Review of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley

This is the famous story Baron Frankenstein and the monster he created in his castle. It’s a well known tale about how he collected parts of dead people and then shocked them with electricity from lightning and brought a monster to life. In this telling of the Shelley tale, no one is very happy with the botched up walking nightmare. The monster just wants some human companionship. In anger, the monster sets out to destroy his creator in this chilling gothic tale.

Mary Shelly was only eighteen when she conceived with Percy Shelley the story of this monster created by Dr. Frankenstein. Her tale has became one of the most famous horror story in the 1800’s and still is considered a classic. I liked the book and the films, and every time they drag this monster out in some new format. So I enjoyed this telling of the tale….even if it is abridged.
