Mary Shelley’s poignant exploration of the true depths of human ambition has had a profound effect on readers since its conception in 1816. When scientist Victor Frankenstein forms a creature from the body parts of corpses, thus shattering the perceived limits of scientific understanding, the consequences are devastating. As Frankenstein becomes disgusted with his experiment, he thwarts the creature’s desire for a companion, and what ensues is singularly chilling.

It's okey. Love the movies from 1932 and 1933 more. The 1933 version is more like the book the 1932.

Positivt att lyssna på en klassiker. Tyvärr fann jag den ganska långtråkig även om den började bra. Främst tyckte jag den var obalanserad.Gillar att monstret föds god. Och blir förbannad på sin skapare. En passande liknelse som går att relatera till.

Always hard to judge a classic by modern standards. The language is typical 18th century and thus a bit slow and dramatic with wat to many descriptive words. But look past it and you have a story which still is relevant today. "Gentle spoiler alert" About what happens to a nice person who gets nothing but neglect and spite from all his fellows, the judgement of someones character from her looks, the right of a tortured soul to revenge his torturer and the right of the creator to banish or kill his creation. This can all be thought of from our perspective of racism, bullying, revenge and even abortion if you want.
