“Frankenstein is my first dive into classic literature, and while the old-school English took some getting used to, it turned out to be a surprisingly fun read. Mary Shelley’s story isn’t just about a mad scientist and his monster—it’s about ambition, loneliness, and what it really means to be human.
Once I got into the flow of the language, it felt like a trip back in time. The story is deeper than I expected, and I found myself feeling for both Victor Frankenstein and his creation. It’s creepy, thought-provoking, and definitely a classic for a reason.
If you’re thinking about reading a classic but aren’t sure where to start, Frankenstein is a solid pick.”

“La verdad tenía las expectativas altísimas en este libro, puesto que había visto que decían maravillas sobre él.
No es que no me haya gustado, pero la verdad el principio del libro se hace lento y luego todo va muy rápido. Además, el vocabulario que se utiliza es denso y antiguo, y a veces cuesta de seguir.
La parte que más me ha gustado ha sido cuando el propio monstruo narraba su historia, porque de esta manera puedes entender su ira y el porqué de sus acciones. Me hubieran gustado más partes así.
Me ha parecido fascinante que "Frankenstein" fuera el creador, y no el propio monstruo. Al final, él fue su creador y, por lo tanto, el que desencadenó todas las desgracias.
Aunque me lo esperaba mejor, ha sido un buen libro.”Sierra Selwa

“Mary Shelley really was that girl, huh? Absolutely deserving of its place among the classics.”
