5.0 out of 5 stars Great adaption of the Classic Novel for Children and Collectors., April 6, 2009

This review is from: Frankenstein (Great Illustrated Classics (Abdo)) (Library Binding)

I picked up this copy of the classic novel when I was only a child and enjoyed it immensely. What amazed me was how it actually DID tell the entire story as Shelly wrote it, without eliminating any details. This was always a fine series for kids and the artwork was always good as well, this one being a standout. The Monster within does actually resemble the text rather than something Karloffian,as is usually the case and even the gruesome moments are captured quite well. That cover is a beaut, depicting one of the few takes on Christopher Lee's Monster from Hammer's "Curse of Frankenstein"(1957) and it's pretty cool. The only problem with this book is Amazon's terrible price for it. Most retailers sell it for five dollars or under and i've seen it(and it's Paperback counterpart) in several Dollar and Bargain stores. This book is a great addition to any Horror fan's Frankenstein collection and for kids interested in the story.
