Written by Mary Shelly, this classic tale formed the foundation for an entire genre of "Mad Scientists." My personal recommendation is not to read this book over a combo pizza and trundle off to bed--for as Hamlet once said "... who knows what dreams might come..." As lightning flashes, Victor Frankenstein finally succeeds in the ultimate scientific experiment -- the creation of life. But Dr. Frankenstein's creature is so huge and hideous that he rejects it. Soon, the lonely, miserable monster turns on Victor and his family with terrifying and tragic results. (144 Pages – Ages 9 and Up.)
