Frankenstein (Wordsworth Classics) | 1831 Text

Needed to read this classic again because I feel for the creature….ohhhhhh my fellow one, dwindled in chaos and despair…..May you find what’s out there….dont fall apart and push far to what you your desire….

Good book

This book is the perfect size and the binding is good. Great price to read a classic.

It was a little damaged but its cute and it was very cheap

Just finished it. I LOVE THIS BOOK. The story is amazing. But this should be a review on the quality of the book itself. I was surprised by the good quality of this one. I often order from Wordsworth classics and the way they send the books is very unprotected and they tend to arrive with a little dent or a scratch. THIS ONE came very neat, no scratches or bumps. In the picture I put a film on it to protect it since I am going to store it or lend it to a friend and I want to protect it and it may look weird because of my wrapping abilities, but it really arrived in good conditions.

great read

The book is fine for the price and serves its purpose, but just be aware that this isn’t the unabridged 1818 edition. If you’re buying it for a student or school assignment, make sure it’s the version they need. Otherwise, it’s a good, affordable copy of Frankenstein.

My granddaughter loved it. Just having the book in her hands was so important to her versus an ebook. She really loves how the information was. But I think some of the classics use words and terms that are atypical these days

Sobre esta edição da wordsworth do Frankestein, ela é simple e económica. A qualidade do conteúdo é acima, por ter boas introduções e notas que ajudam na leitura. A estética não é o forte porque a qualidade do papel parece um pouco tipo jornal (más é muito melhor que das edicições da Harper Collins). Se você procura praticidade acima da beleza, você vai adorar. O livro é robusto o suficiente e é muito gostoso de manusear, perfeito para rabiscar a vontade e sem remorso. É uma edição ideal para estudantes de inglês.

The print is very good.

I purchased this item to replace my old much loved and battered copy that was lost in a recent move. The story is one of three gothic horror novels that I love. Dracula and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde (which I'm currently reading). We all know the basic story of Frankenstein, probably due to watching movies, but the book is far more indepth, naturally. I like the pace of the story (though some people have told me they find it slow in places, but I can't agree) and much like Dracula and Dr Jekyll, no matter how many times I read the story I'm always hooked from the very first line. There is something nice about reading a genuinely disturbing and unsettling story without having to rely on typical blood and gore. I think though this is a book that you'll either really enjoy or struggle to get into. But if do struggle, stick with it. It's well worth it.

¿Qué más se puede decir a estas alturas sobre esta novela visionaria? Por mi parte, me limitaré a recomendarla sin reservas (como bien ha dicho otra lectora, dará más de una sorpresa a quien sólo conozca la historia por su versión popular) y a alabar esta edición. Por poco más de lo que cuesta un periódico, te llevas a casa un texto muy cuidado, con notas útiles y una interesante introducción sobre algunas de las cuestiones científicas y políticas presentes en la novela.
