riverofhorton's review against another edition
I decided to DNF this particular version simply because I discovered this to be the heavily edited 1831 version, and I would rather read the original 1818 version.
That said, I was enjoying it up to that discovery and as such will be purchasing and reading a copy of the 1818 text at some point in the future.

3.5
A classic famous for the creation of the sci-fi genre. It uses strong religious imagery to paint a picture of humanity and what distinguishes humans from "daemons" and higher powers. Seamlessly blends science, philosophy, and creationism. Although the gruesome deeds and persons lack greater detail, the light description allows the imagination to fill in the horrific blanks.
