A+ for "Frankenstein by Mary Shelley"

A+ for "Frankenstein by Mary Shelley"

A classic in English literature and a classic science fiction novel. We cannot judge a book from this time period based on the standards of today, which is to say we shouldn't judge it on how thrilling it is alone. The strength of this novel comes from the issues of morality that it raises, and from the psychological issues the characters and the plot itself provoke. Not necessarily an easy read for everyone, but something that should be read.
