Rating: - Simply one of the best horror novels ever
If you are interested in horror, this book is imperative.Honestly, everyone should read it.
Rating: - Great edition for a great price
This edition is full of good (though simple) notes on symbol, characters, themes, etc whether you are reading on your own or for class. Highly recommend especially for the price. Great for a class set. I ordered for students at school. It is the 1818 version, which I like better in a lot of ways, but may not be the same as your school's library if that is a concern. I like the three volumes and fewer hints "you will laugh at my allusion" (1832) in the 1818 verses some of the over editing in the 1832. ... Read More
Rating: - Do not buy
This book was a waste of money. I had to read this for school
and did horrible on all my quizes because the chapters left out
so much information that was needed and changed all the diction it was impossible to understand. Chapter 2 is in the middle of
chapter 1, and chapter 3 is really chapter 4 its just really confusing.
I will never buy an enriched classic again. I should have just
went to books-a-million or barnes and noble.

Rating: - It was a school reading book.
Not much to say... it's Frankenstein. The chapters are arranged oddly (in a series of books rather than ongoing chapters.

Personally didn't like the story... Frankenstein's monster's actions are questionable and everything is overdramatized. Ah well; that's the old style of writing for ya. Not exactly a "horror" book to me...
Rating: - GREAT Book!!!!
I read this book for an English class I had to take, and it was very helpful!!!
The book not only included the text, but interpretation notes as well which were very helpful!!!
So glad I bought this book!
