headinthebooks's review against another edition

4 stars
I loved the way that this was told! How it started with letter, then turned into a story and ended with letters! Such a great and eerie story! But I loved the part where we read from Adam's POV more than Dr. Frankenstein's POV. The writing is wonderful but it can be a bit confusing for some! The characters where great! But oh boi oh boi, I didn't like Victor at all! And I felt so much sympathy for Adam, poor poor Adam!
This is a classic that used be read!

I’m glad I read it, but I didn’t love it. I didn’t find it believable that Victor didn’t anticipate the monster killing his friend or new wife. There were too many coincidental and too many impossible things.
But I did find it an interesting lens. It questions the result of the drive to achieve without regard for the potential problems we might be creating. And it opens the door at least to exploring what we become without love.

Killed by the tortures of academic study. Whilst I admire it wholly, any affection for the narrative has, I fear, potentially been eradicated by the horrors of AS exam technique.
