Professional Review:
This "Norton Critical Edition" of "Frankenstein" contains the 1818 first edition text. Only the obvious typographical errors have been corrected. The book also includes writings by Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and John William Polidori, enabling the reader to place the novel in its historical context. Six 19th-century responses to the novel illustrate contemporary reactions, whilst 12 modern critical essays cover the different aspects (psychoanalytic, mythic, feminist) of the work.

User Reviews:
 Rating 5   Written on December 26, 1998
   Summary: People should be left up to GOD!
This book at times was hard to understand but kept me interested the whole time. I loved the part where he discovers that it is really ugly and horrible. The way Mary Shelly writes makes you feel like you are there. Recommended for older readers.

 Rating 3   Written on December 2, 1998
   Summary: It is a good book and many have read it and you should but..
I don't think I would read it again. The text is flowery and hard to take in all the time. She [mary shelly] had an amazing way of capturing feelings... It has symbolism of Fruedism, Marxism, feminism and more...It represents all the horrrors of life and society.

 Rating 4   Written on November 19, 1998
   Summary: An Excellent Choice!
This novel is a true example of the talent and genius of Mary Shelley. The novel illuminates a lot of Shelley's own personal fears, dreams and ideas concerning motherhood, love and failure. No, this book is not like the thrillers we see produced in Hollywood - but it IS an excellent representation of what real literature should be!!!

 Rating 4   Written on November 19, 1998
   Summary: Great book about how we shouldn't mess with God's plan
This book kept me intrusted and wanting to read more I don't read much because I can't find a book that keeps me not from falling asleep or my mind wandering. I liked how she died in the end just to twist the knife a little deeper.
