A lot of people are still surprised when they discover that the novel is not really the story of a monster like most movies. We got so used to watching movies that simplify the story that the book seems very different.Y0landa wrote: ↑04 Jan 2020, 12:21 I had never considered reading "Frankenstein" when younger as Science fiction did not interest me, but I'm glad a friend recommended it to me. I decided to give it a read, and I was so surprisingly amazed. I loved the story! It wasn't what I was expecting as the Hollywood version is a far catch from the original. I felt sympathy for the creature that was created; it was all man's wrongdoing.

Yes, that's exactly true! I would love to see a film on this book. I don't know if it exists already, but it could be very interesting to watch!NetMassimo wrote: ↑05 Jan 2020, 02:58A lot of people are still surprised when they discover that the novel is not really the story of a monster like most movies.

I haven't seen all Frankenstein movies, so I don't know if there are any really faithful to the book.Y0landa wrote: ↑05 Jan 2020, 14:37Yes, that's exactly true!
