My dad checked Frankenstein out of the library today! He bought me a Frankenstein book before so I know the story but it was not the full story. This is the complete unabridged version! I took photos but I can not find the cord to put them on here.

I was looking at the book last night and I think I was wrong. This does not look like the complete unabridged version. I would love to read the complete unabridged story.

I have never read the original Frankenstein.

I have read the original Dracula and it's a tough book to get through. I guess I don't enjoy novels written as if it were a diary.

If you want to read the srories but do not want to read them the way they were written because it is too hard you could read versions that are re written to be easer to understand. (I am a really bad speller. I bet I spelled everything here wrong )

Yes. I do know the story and have seen many movie versions of it.

By the way, your spelling is just fine.

I am always worrying about my spelling.

Me too, but spell-check is our friend.

I remember reading the whole thing back in high school. It really is a good book. It's not hard to read at all. It'll give you a new outlook on the monster other than what you see in movies.
