introvertsbookclub's review against another edition
4.5
The adaptation of the Frankenstein story is fascinating – not just because of the changes to the plot and purpose of the creature, but because of the new emotional context that fuels the creature’s creation. I loved the way that the creature became a way to debate ideas around good and bad, innocence and criminality, in the same way that Shelley’s original monster facilitated questions about science, morality and community.
I am so glad I decided to continue my spooky reading into November, and that I finally got around to reading this book.
