booksontheknightbus's review against another edition
3.0
*Spoiler Free*
“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand."
*Disclaimer*** I only read Frankenstein out of the entire bound book of Horror stories. I'm giving Frankenstein a 3/5 star rating. I read this in high school and this time around I listened to the audio book. I remember liking this one a bit more in high school than now. I'm not a huge scifi fan but I also think my perception of the book has changed. A few years ago I read The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein and found it to be much more intriguing than the classic itself. There wasn't a bunch of filler as there is in Frankenstein.
This is one of those reviews where I feel really bad for giving it a 3/5 stars because of its prestigious reputation in society. But alas, it still had many boring pieces to it, and while at the time it was written it was super popular and deemed pretty spooky; I don't think it has lived up to its prestige here in 2021.
There are many other thematics in Frankenstein such as Victor being the true villain in the story or that being different in society is fool hardy, and many other themes. I just don't think they stand out much anymore.
I do intend on reading the rest of the stories at some point but for now it will go on my shelves until I'm ready.
