About the Author

Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born August 30, 1797, in London, England. Her parents were both writers but sadly, her mother died while Mary was a baby. After being homeschooled as a child, Mary fell in love at a young age. At 16, she married Percy Shelley and changed her name to Mary Shelley. In 1816, the couple traveled to Switzerland for the summer. While there, Shelley and other writers decided to have a ghost story contest. Shelley started writing Frankenstein. Published in 1818, the novel still frightens people nearly 200 years later.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Graphic Novel of Frankenstein, September 28, 2008

This review is from: Frankenstein (Graphic Revolve) (Paperback)

Frankenstein is depicted in a graphic novel for kids. It is very good and people will enjoy it. The only difficulty is that the words are so few that some of the story remains cryptic and I suspect some people won't "get" it. I think the point is to make it less scary for kids but more concrete information might be helpful. Still I am going to use it in my classroom for my ESOL students.
