A review by goobdiddy
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
3.0
It had been a while since I'd read anything classic-ish, so I thought I'd try the original sci-fi novel. Since my previous exposure to the story had been based on various movies, I didn't know what to expect. The author pretty much leaves the details of the creature up to the reader's imagination, and what you are left with is a psychological thriller. Basically Dr. Frankie is a big whiner who should have known better and makes the wrong decision at every point in the story.
All in all, not bad, but I would have liked some more details on the creature to satisfy my geekness. All of the electricity, dark and stormy nights, Igor, "IT'S ALIVE!!!", etc. was all from the land of Hollywood, and I really think it added some needed oomph to the story :)
