A great graphic novel refresher for a story I haven't read since HS. It was fun and the drawings were great.

I have always enjoyed the story Frankenstein in its many versions, but have found that many of my students tend to dislike it, at least in its original form. I think this shorter, graphic version may help to give them a new opinion.

Fun comic adaptation of a classic!

"Nothing could soften their hard, hard hearts.
A heart of stone clamours for one thing: revenge." (p15)

"I swear by the sun and heaven, and by the fire that still BURNS in my heart. If you make me a mate, no man will EVER see me again." (p16)

"... And I shall be with you on your wedding night." (p18)

Not a bad retelling of the story. Probably good for 10-12 year olds. It was interesting that the cover mimics the Universal Monster style but the story was faithful to Shelly's novel. It's a quick read and simple. The drawings are dark colored and set the mood. I felt some of the drawings were excellent with creating emotions.

A bibliotecária insistiu e se empenhou tanto na procura dessa HQ, mesmo depois de eu dizer a ela que não precisava, que eu trouxe ele pra casa e li, apesar de não querer saber da história previamente.

This book was a very interesting book. I have been recommended these kinds of books by a lot if people. I has not been a book i have ever read before and it was a okay book. It was kinda random but a okay book. All together i kinda liked it and would recommend it for people that like comics.
