This review is from: Frankenstein (Relatos Y Novelas / Narratives and Novels) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

I had to read this book for summer reading. The rough storyline is that Frankenstein has created life from dead body parts. In horror, he rejects the creature, and the creation vows revenge on Frankenstein. Considering the idea of the book, it sounds interesting. The writing, however, was extremely boring. It took me a few chapters to get into the book, and then once I was a little intrigued, I would be bored all over again. Mary Shelley seems to write on endlessly about things that are insignificant to the plot, complicating basic understanding. On top of that, things that I thought would be important, such as Frankenstein's wedding, were summed up in about 2 sentences. The emphasis in her book seemed to be off-center, and thus it was very hard to pay attention. The book itself is very short, I believe only 200 pages or so, but it felt like it was much longer. I pity you if you are forced to read this for school (which many are), and I do not recommend this book for leisure reading--there are many other, much better written "classics" out there.
