Customer Reviews

Frankenstein

I bought this book for my ten year old son who was interested in reading the classics. I also bought him Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the Phantom of the Opera from the "Step-up Classic Chillers" series. All were great and kept his interest.

Nice Chiller Thriller Scary for Bedtime Reading, Really!

I just have to write a few words about the adaptation of Mary Shelly's FRANKENSTEIN for children, by Larry Weinberg. My twin sister, who is as big a reader as I am, is trying to introduce her almost five-year-old daughter to the classics and this book was/is a mega huge success. Frankenstein is all she can talk about now. No more Blue's Clues for her, she's into Mary Shelly's man made monster, big time. In fact I think we have a horror reader in the making, maybe even a writer. It's probably a little early to introduce her to Stephen King and those things that might live under her bed though. Soon maybe, but not yet.
