Frankenstein The Graphic Novel: Quick Text (British English) Misc. Supplies – 29 Sept. 2008

This graphic novel presents Mary Shelley's classic "Frankenstein" using contemporary English. The story itself remains unchanged, and Shelley's contribution to horror literature is re-imagined in art form. The illustrations are fantastic, and truly bring the tale to life. As the original book was written over two centuries ago, the language used at that time was quite different from today's ... so this graphic novel offers an 'update'. As such, it's clear and understandable to readers of those aged 10+. Yet should you desire to read this comic book using the original language, it is available:  Frankenstein The Graphic Novel: Original Text (British English) .I recently purchased the "Dracula" graphic novel -  Dracula The Graphic Novel: Original Text (British English)  - and found it thoroughly enjoyable. So I then opted to give this item a go. And I'm happy that I did. Overall, it's a well-produced book. For anyone seeking to engage with the "Frankenstein" story, this is a great point of entry. And comic book fans will be pleased.

I bought this as I am a fan of Frankenstein, and thought this would be a great addition to my collection.This version uses the original text from the novel, mixed with illustrations to create a great graphic novel. There are also other versions available that uses modern English.I would recommend this product to teachers as it could be a new way of looking at the text which could help with the teaching of it at school.

An excellent visual adaptation to the original story, this graphic novel really brings the story to life, it has excellent artwork if you are like me and you like your gothic stories then this is one for your collection, if I go in to more detail about the story it might ruin your expectations all I can say is get this novel and you will not regret it.

Enjoyed reading again in graphic novel form.
