I first saw the frankestein movie adaptation released in 2025 directed by Guillermo del toro.Reading the actual story is very different from the movie. But maybe because i did not reading the actual book, i am very well impressed by the movie adaptation rather than the story.Maybe my opinion will change if i get to read the original novel.Nevertheless this is an easy read.Excellent way of writing to introduce classics to 8+
