Frankenstein

I love the cover and the printing of this book it’s a wonderful addition to my collection.

pen stain on the front cover it felt like a used book very flimsy and creases on the front and spine of the book

In my opinion, Penguin English Library editions are always very good. The negative point about the product that I received is that there is a big, ugly fold/crease on the paperback cover of the book. Which makes me think that this is a used book, rather than brand new.

the size of the font is readable, it’s not too small or too big, and the cover is pretty too!

just like the picture

Buena calidad, pero el tiempo de entrega fue largo.

Very good quality, looks lovely on our bookshelf.

“Frankenstein has done more than any other story to define the anxieties of modern life. But it’s what it tells us about compassion that we need now more than ever.”, by Rebecca Lawrence (BBC Culture - June 13, 2018) If you think that because you have watched the movie adaptations you can skip this book, then you don’t know what you are missing. The movie obscured Shelley’s intentions. This is not a horror book. It’s a drama at its finest. The writing is fascinating! And if you add the audiobook narrated by Dan Stevens you will be transported to the era and be totally involved in the emotional rollercoaster. The writing is complex and vivid and expresses the anguish of both monster and creator. I thought the story was exceptionally well told and the writing definitely brought it to life. What I enjoyed the most is that we have the monster’s perspective. What an incredible imagination! The author was 18 years old and this book was written in 1818, so take that into consideration. What a great read!

Perfect Mary Shelley. I love Coppola's films. Never a disappointment. DeNiro was brilliant. Much better and true to the story than Boris. Sorry Boris . Coppola's Dracula is equally as brilliant and beautiful.

Recommend it rather than mid-movies
