Frankenstein: The 1818 Text (Penguin Classics) Paperback – January 16, 2018

Very good book, I got it for school. While cheap this is the cheap version of the book it's still good quality.

A masterpiece and a must-read for any literature enthusiast. This edition preserves Mary Shelley’s original vision, offering a raw and thought-provoking exploration of humanity, ambition, and morality. The introduction and notes are incredibly insightful, enriching the reading experience with historical and literary context. The quality of the book itself is excellent, with a durable cover and clear, well-formatted text. Highly recommend for anyone looking to dive into one of the most iconic novels of all time

One of my favorite books. Just such genuinely good writing.

Frankenstein is a ponderous yet moving novel about what it means to be alive and to have meaningful connections. Written by Mary Shelley when she was only 18, this novel is complex, haunting, compelling and deeply human. I am not one for horror, and in my view this is a novel that transcends traditional genres. I recommend this novel for anyone looking for an engaging read that also provides much to reflect on. And, if you can wait, it probably would be that much better being read during the Halloween season.

Good product. Fast shipping. Did not disappoint.

Forget everything you think you know about Frankenstein. This is such a thoughtful, well written psychological thriller. I am sad it has been bastardized by popular interpretation. Mary Shelley is a gifted writer. When you need a go to solid read, you can count on this.

Classic book!

A very interesting read. All I knew about Frankenstein was from the 20th century movies or toys … the monster with the big flat head and bolts in his neck. The original book is quite a bit more subtle than the later pop culture portrayal. A very compelling story line that can be read and interpreted in many different ways. More of a psychological drama rather than the more familiar graphic horror portrayals based on it. Quite an achievement for the initial novel of a 19 year old (what we would today consider essentially still a “girl”) writing in the male-dominated early 1800’s. Really enjoyed it.
