Frankenstein

Adam Rex

Harcourt Children's Books, 2006

great entertainment
I checked this book out of the library and it came with a cassette so that is my one disappointment that this was only the book. My 5 year old son loves this and we had to listen to and read it for several weeks in a row. Halloween is his favorite holiday and to put ...

Frankenstein Takes the Cake

Adam Rex

Harcourt Children's Books, 2008

Let them read Frankenstein
I like cake. I like Frankenstein. Ipso facto: I like Frankenstein Takes the Cake. Oh fine. Maybe it's a little more complicated than that. Maybe I like other things about the book too. Perhaps the art. Maybe the characters. And there's always the off chance that what I ...

Frankenstein (Norton Critical Editions)

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

W. W. Norton, 1995

Gothic at its best
Mary Shelley was the daughter of the famous feminist and author, Mary Wollstonecraft, who is best known for her work The Vindication of the Rights of Women. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a young university student, Victor Frankenstein, obsesses with wanting to know ...

Frankenstein (Signet Classics)

Mary Shelley

Signet Classics, 2000

You've seen Karloff, now read the original
Once you read Shelley's classic you're going to scratch your head and wonder: Is this really the book that gave us the Karloff movie? Not to mention Herman Munster and Frankenberry. For over a century and half people have been cannibalizing this book for ideas, movies, ...

Frankenstein: A Kaplan SAT Score-Raising Classic

Mary Shelley

Kaplan Publishing, 2006

Read A Classic, and Prep for the SAT!
This is one of the best ways of learning SAT vocab, or simply vocab for your own personal gain. Read the classic work on the right, SAT words are in bold and defined on the left. The real kicker is that words are repeated throughout the book. After seeing words over ...

Prodigal Son (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book 1)

Dean Koontz, Kevin J. Anderson

Bantam, 2005

Amazing
This book is amazing on so many levels. It takes the traditional Frankenstein story and weaves a modern tale of secrets, deception, and corruption hidden under a thin veneer of high society. It is creepy how probable some of the things in this book are. It is a sad ...

Frankenstein (Penguin Classics)

Mary Shelley

Penguin Classics, 2003

4-1/2 stars for a classic the movies messed up
Did the people who made the Frankenstein movie even read this book? All of the things that I associated with Frankenstein are creations of the movie alone. No Igor, no lightning striking the body, no grave-robbing (not directly referred to anyway), no mountain ...

Frankenstein (Enriched Classics)

Mary Shelley

Pocket, 2004

Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
I bought this for my son for a school reading assignment. He did not like the book at all. Me, on the other hand, I liked it. I read it years & years ago but I enjoyed it the 2nd time around.

City of Night (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book 2)

Dean Koontz, Ed Gorman

Bantam, 2005

Victor Helios/Frankenstein continues his malicious plan for annihilation of the Old Race
I strongly recommend reading 'Frankenstein: Prodigal Son' first, since the first books ends in a cliffhanger leading to 'Frankenstein: City Of Night'. As we left the first book in the series, detectives Carson O'Conner and Michael Maddison were hot on the tail of ...

Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Dark Horse, 2008

Few works by comic-book artists have earned the universal acclaim and reverence that Bernie Wrightson's illustrated version of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein was met with upon its original release in 1983. Twenty-five years later, this magnificent pairing of art and literature is still considered to be one of the greatest achievements ...

There are some pretty weird grown-ups living in Bailey City. But could Frank--a large man with a green complexion and a huge purple scar--really be Frankenstein's monster? The Bailey School Kids are going to find out!

From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers, Young Frankenstein is based on the Oscar-nominated smash-hit 1974 film.

Dr. Frankenstein's Human Body Book

Richard Walker

Frankly fun & informative
You, the reader, must assist Dr. Frankenstein in his quest to create a living, breathing human being. This book does not contain tons of bells and whistles, i.e. flaps, maps, stickers, etc. It's brilliance is born out of fabulous illustrations and photographs, a ...
