Book Review - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Rating: 10/10

Frankenstein is the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young man who devised a way to give life to inanimate objects. He performed an experiment wherein he collected "materials," put them together, and gave life to a creature of gigantic stature and horrible features (it is sometimes referred to as "demon" or "ogre"). Upon waking up, Frankenstein realizes his mistake and fear engulfs his heart. It's a carefully crafted story that will thrill readers of all ages.

Now this is what real horror is all about! Mary Shelley delivers a great masterpiece of a book by showing the reader the human. Harold Bloom writes: "The greatest paradox and most astonishing achievement of Mary Shelley's novel is that the monster is more human than his creator." Thus, it is true. Actually, my awe shifts from Frankenstein to his creation. It's a powerful novel. What else is there to say?..

By the way, the monster in the book did not have screws. XD
