Welcome to Litsy!

Frankenstein so caught public imagination that it's never been out of print. It has gone through countless editions, become a staple of nineteenth-century horror narratives and more recently has enjoyed a deep relationship with audiences of film and TV, players of computer games and readers of fan fiction.

I‘m a sucker for classics and this book was no exception. The story line was captivating and I loved the characters, especially Victor and Clerval. Clerval was such a loving friend, he didn‘t deserve what happened to him! I also felt bad for Victor, he just wanted to enjoy life and the wonders of science! Overall, the novel was amazing and I loved that it was written through letters. The story within a story was genius.

Le premier sens est l'odorat, puisque je lis toujours accompagnée de l'arôme d'une tasse de café matinale. Ensuite, je lis principalement sur mon balcon qui face face à des travaux de réfection. Ma vue erre donc souvent sur l'immeuble en face, surtout lorsque le volume tonitruant de la radio m'extirpe des pages de Frankenstein. Finalement, la lecture du roman est aussi associée à l‘ouïe; une cacophonie est toujours en toile de fond.

Finished! A story within a story with in a story. Definitely not at all what I was expecting.

To be honest, I loved the concept and the depth of the story but found myself either confused or missing details over and over. Im not even sure what happened at the end... 😪😬

I listened to it on audiobook but this classic deserves to be held physically and cherished. I'll have to read it again!

Solid 3.5 stars because I missed a lot of detail.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

My all-time favorite anti-hero (and I LOVE a morally conflicted protagonist) is the Creature in Mary Shelley‘s Frankenstein. This is one of my favorite novels to teach and the Creature is the most tragic of tragic heroes! His deeply flawed character is so complex and has so much to teach us….if only we‘d listen.

I tag anyone who‘d like to play along. Morally grey protagonists are the best!

“Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world. A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. No father could claim the gratitude of his child so completely as I should deserve theirs.”

YIKES! I knew going into this that Dr. Frankenstein had a God complex, but I didn‘t realize to what extent! 😱

I loved this book — again. The movies always portray the monster as clumsy and slow, but, in the book, he‘s fast and limber. A lot of different themes are dealt with — the impact of isolation on social creatures, the responsibility of a creator to not only their creation but to the rest of humanity, and ethics in science are just a few. It‘s also beautifully written. I started Mercy Falls when I finished Frankenstein. #audiowalk

I am really enjoying this reread of Frankenstein. It‘s been many, many years since I read it, and my perspective on some things is a little different. Dan Stevens is a good narrator. It was such a beautiful day today. #audiowalk

Somebody on Litsy mentioned Frankenstein, and it‘s been years since I read it, so I made it my new walking book. The animals were out in full force in the park today. I think that‘s a beaver with the bird; it‘s the first time I‘ve seen a live one there — I‘ve seen 2 or 3 dead ones. #audiowalk

Been listening to this audiobook on YouTube! Definitely good quality and I love the voice actors different voices for each character.

So far this is a fascinating story!! I am so enthralled with how Frankenstein is viewing the world. Although, I am missing a lot of the details regarding some of the other side stories. This book deserves a physical reread if I ever get around to it.

Can't wait to finish this one! Predicting a 4 star read.

“My reign is not yet over- you live, and my power is complete”
I‘ve only ever seen the Frankenstein movie so I was very pleasantly surprised and shocked that the original monster does in fact speak. I have many many thoughts on this book and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. I know she‘s credited with one of the first science fiction novels ever but I think this book is so much more complex than she‘s given credit for.
9/10

He sprang from the cabin window as he said this, upon the ice raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance.

I was reading another story which touched on this book and realized I‘d actually NEVER read it. Well, I‘ve fixed that problem. I‘m amazed by how creepy this was given when it was written. Truly understand why this is a classic! #readingchallenge2022 #theclassicschallenge

🤣😂

"When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?"

Wow. I thought I knew what this book was about but I never knew there was this much depth to it. I'm fascinated by this story and Frankensteins view of man's desires, wants, fears, and laws. And ultimately the understanding of himself.

A wonderful experience so far.

Been wanting to read this creepy crowd pleaser for awhile now. Happy to be getting around to it.

February was Frankenstein Month!

I read the book, watched a couple old related movies, you know … Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Young Frankenstein … read an annotated version, listened to the audiobook, watched Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein & finally I read this manga by Junji Ito.

I loved Dean Koontz‘s Frankenstein series & some of the newer movies!

The book is a little dry but the narrator helped bring it to life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finished my reread of Frankenstein and oh my god I wish I didn't pick it up. I don't remember how I felt about the book when I read it for English class in high school but as an adult I find both Frankenstein and his monster insufferable. Going to cleanse my palate with an embroidery kit.

Day 5: Can you guess my favorite classic novel?!?! I have used this novel to teach my students so much about humanity and the dangers of search for progress without ethical considerations. And Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is one bad ass!!

I read this book in class and it was not something that I would usually pick. However, every chapter was exiting and I am glad I read it. I really like the structure of the story; starting and ending with letters. I also like that the story feels like Frankenstein is telling you personally. Overall, Frankenstein by Mary Shelly is a really exiting and tragic book. I recommend it to anyone into science fiction! 🎖🎖🎖🎖

My first book of 2022 is this enduring masterpiece of science-fiction. Heartbreaking and tragic. So happy I revisited this book.

A friend of mine always sends me Frankenstein stuff because she knows it‘s my favorite 📚 and I got inspired to create this meme based off of a Frankenstein comic she sent me. 😂 💚⚡️

3✨ I struggle with classics so this one took me a long time to read. I like that I now know more about this story. A lot of it was what I have seen or heard. The poetic nature of the words pulling together was beautiful and challenging. I‘ll probably read it again to gain even further understanding in the future. This was on my TBR so I am also counting it for #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

My partner‘s Santa hat with my current read. It seemed about right. #FestivePhotoChallenge 🤣#WinterGames2021 is killing him. 😅 @StayCurious
