2017: Excellent moral dilemmas are discussed through the conflict between an irresponsible creator and his misunderstood creature. Also, it mentions my hometown, which is the first time I encounter such an occurrence in fiction. It's a sci-fi book written by a woman in the age when only men were supposed to be creative and smart enough to spew words on paper. I'm only taking a star away because the novel should be re-titled Frankenstein, or Where Characters Complain A Lot. ...more

This gothic tale is a very brilliant science fiction. Mary Shelly penned✒️ gold when she written this novel. I enjoyed this book so much that it surprised me that I haven't read it sooner. Frankenstein is truly a classic horror that is way better to be read than watched. Since I've have seen other film versions and none of them ever quite compliment the novel. So I would recommend any one to read this book. It's great & unforgettable. ...more
