A DOUBLE TAB BOOK REVIEW!
Frankenstein by
"I think this book has teen appeal as many teens may be interested in literary classics and may be interested in Mary Shelley. I love this book as it paints a picture of what it means to be a creator and outcast and how Victor becomes the outcast by the end of the story because all his family is killed by Adam (The monster). This book made me ponder what it means to be human and what neglect and abandonment can do to a person. I love classic books from the peak of literature this highlights the horrifying element of Nature. Many teens might be learning about this period in their classes or just might have an interest in this classic story. I know I chose to do a project on Mary's life after reading Frankenstein and was very interested in her tragic life. There have been millions of adaptations of this classic story so many teens might be interested in this book. I resonated with Victor, he has a passion for learning, and when he has an idea he cannot let it go. Many might also relate to Adam as he is an outcast and feels very lonely, this story is very sad yet has some horror elements though it is not a horror story it surely takes a turn for the worst. I think this story has teen appeal as teens might be interested in its author and book."-- Nicholas G.
"Let me introduce the book I have been suffering with for the past 3 weeks. This is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This book is well known for being one of the first gothic horror novels and is quite influential in pop culture. This is about a man named Victor Frankenstein who brings a creature to life only for his life to take a tragic turn. Though the idea of the novel is very great, and I have a great appreciation of everything Mary Shelley did with this story, I wouldn’t call it a good horror novel. I feel like this book took too much of a romantic view of the creature, making you feel sympathy for him. I have always enjoyed reading and watching stories with dark and scary villains, and developing those scary creatures by making you feel pity or even by making their character relatable kills the fear they exhort. I’d give this book a 2 out of 5 stars, and I would recommend it to people who enjoy reading dense classics, but this book is not something most teens would enjoy reading." -Gabriel Emig
