This edition is superb. The annotations and essays add so much. Despite having read and loved Frankenstein (1818) before I find myself loving it even more and having more food for thought to chew on. There is so much within these pages!
I would befriend the creature.

So many essays. I will always love Frankenstein <3
Yes, I do have multiple copies of Frankenstein. Below are my previous reviews.
My first read, of the 1831 edition not knowing there even was more than one edition and I had just really started reading - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Second read (but first for the 1818 edition) upon realizing there was another, earlier, edition, the 1818 one and that the 1831 one that I had read first was the more "conservative" one and that scholars tend to prefer the 1818 uncensored one now - https://w ...more

I fixed the edition but forgot to copy the review! T.T
Basically this edition uses the original 1818 uncensored edition as the main text and has annotations mentioning the differences between it and the Thomas Text, which I had never heard of, and the (sadly imho) most commonly read 1831 edition. The Thomas Text being in between the two. It also has annotations about places in the story, history and opinions of the editor.
There is a forward and many afterwards things. It has facts about history, ...more

I love Frankenstein and I have no idea what I could possibly say that hasn't already been said. Frankenstein is an ass, abandoning his child in horror of his deformity. If the "monster" hadn't been abandoned, the horror of this tale might not have happened. This tale brings up so many things. Parental abandonment, people's feelings towards those that are deformed or "hideous", the fact that the monster didn't need to become a monster but did because of what was done to him. Does it make what he

My 8th time reading Frankenstein and I get something new out of it every time. Of course that's why I seek out annotated ones, editions with essays. Frankenstein is my favorite book for so many reasons.

This particular edition has a lot of errors. For most of it it was fine, mostly words missing a letter, not a big deal, but in the middle of the third volume sentences became a mess, like they just, gave up. Fortunately this is my 7th time reading Frankenstein so it wasn't a huge deal.

Copy/pasted old review from 2015 because the editions being messed up was driving me up a wall!
I could understand most of Frankenstein, there were footnotes throughout the book, and what didn't have a footnote could usually be understood through context. It was beautifully told, though I was confused and bored by the beginning not understanding the purpose of it until near the end of the book.
I am very glad I read this and did enjoy it quite a bit. It did give me some feels. The pace of the book ...more

Maybe I wasn't in the mood for this classic. My mind kept wandering on it.
