Gris Grimly's Frankenstein: A Graphic Novel

You can read the entire book easily, but not as hauntingly beautiful as this illustrated book. I feel lucky to have found such a book as this and I adore the style of the drawings. Amazing. I would give more stars if I could.

I have been teaching Frankenstein by Mary Shelley for 9 years now, and the reading itself is a barrier to many students, as is the thick British accent of many of the audiobook readers. This version makes an important story into an easy read. The art is fantastic, too, and emphasizes the gothic elements to add that gruesome feel to the whole scenario. Creepy enough to interest, but still not gratuitous. I'm trying to find money to by a classroom set now!

lovely, I loved it the first time I read it, and the second time. ive always love the original book, I never felt films and shows did this story justice, but this, this is perfect. this took a whole different approach to victor, and the creature. gothic and very beautiful

Wow! Wow! The graphics are awesome! I love the size of this book. I also love that Gris Grimly did not change Mary Shelley's text, making it easier for me to use this in our homeschooling. My son gets all the wonderful graphics, as well as, the wonderful story! A plus. I will be buying more of author Gris Grimly's works. Some of the art, I want to pull out and frame, however, I just don't want to ruin the book!

I'm a fan of Gris Grimly's art, and this book delivers. Shelley's words are poetic and beautiful, which is why I was a bit disappointed that a lot of the original text was not included; hence, the four stars. I would recommend this book to individuals who want an introduction to the classics and those who get bored easily like middle and high school kids. It's a good transition from illustrated books to all text novels.

I'm in love with Gris Grimly's work. I homeschool, and used this and his Edgar Allen Poe books for some fun Halloween reading. What a great way to introduce kids to classic writers. Grimley uses selections from the original text, interspersed with illustrations. The book starts with several letters without illustrations. My kids and I really needed to power through these letters; we were certainly rewarded with a great read once we got through the boring letters. I've bought a bunch of Grimley's other books. I hope he and other talented artists continue to illustrate classic books with the original text.

Gris Grimly's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is fabulous. Richly drawn and inclusive of all the ephemera and curios that define Grimly's work, this was a blast to read. As is the case with many graphic novels, I read this whilst reading four or five other novels, but kept returning to this and picking up where I left off. A lot of fun. Doing Poe next,...

My daughter loved the modern take on this old story.

Gorgeous artwork! The price fluctuates often so wait until it dips and it's a win‐win-win situation.

The book has grotesque illustration for which Grimly is famed, befitting the theme. The sepia tones highlight the 19th century.

Me encanta Grimly.. Me lo pillé en inglés y luego lo sacó Planeta en español... Tanto correr, tanto correr... bueno, pero me costó casi la mitad.

An interesting take on the much adapted classic novel.

Obra imprescindible si te gusta el mito de Frankenstein y las ilustraciones de Gris Grimly.Lástima que en España no tengamos la posibilidad de disfrutarlo en nuestro idioma. Al menos de momento.
