My goal for 2018 was to finally read this book that I've had for many, many years.11:50 P.M. 12/31/2018 and Finished!I found both of these books extremely tedious and am clueless as to the how and why of them being considered "classics".Blech!
i think its a great story i like horror story and romance but my best is horror but if i started reading story the story!
I thought I had read these a long time ago, when I found this copy from my aunt from way back in 1974. So, I thought I would read these. I saw all the movies, so I knew the stories. DRACULA was an amazing story and well written. It was different than what I thought it would be and I thoroughly enjoyed it. FRANKENSTEIN was a bit of a disappointment. I enjoy the story and I felt pathos for the monsters and for Frankenstein, but I thought the writing was not as beautiful or as fluid. I also think t...
Both classics for very good reasons, these books should be read especially by people who are familiar with the stories only from the movies.
Though obviously both great stories that have spawned countless retellings, I liked Dracula better. Frankenstein was a bit of a whiner
This rating is for Dracula only.
Frankenstein, who is the real monster here?
I enjoyed Dracula much more than Frankenstein. Frankenstein was a slow start and a pretty quick wrapped up ending.
4.5 stars (for Frankenstein).
You have to grab these stories in the hardcover version to keep on your must read book shelf.
I struggled between three stars and four stars with these two books. Considering that they were written in the 19th century, and I don't read many novels from the 19th century, I have a feeling they were excellent novels in their time. But, given the context of the 21st century and the evolution of writing during that time, especially in the horror and science fiction drama, specifically the horror novels that I've read, these two would be more of a three star rating. Don't get me wrong, I think...
These editions I bought a few years ago they are without introductions that other editions may have and are a really nice set to own,in smaller hardback editions easy to carry in luggage.Dracula and Frankenstein both incredible books I cannot believe its taken me so long to get round to reading them.
Sure
I read Frankenstein first. This book I'd rate two stars. Slow start, but the fifth chapter was as good as promised. Terrifying premise, and very real. And then some of the later chapters switched to philosophical treatise, which wasn't as interesting. I skipped over a lot of those. The story of how this novel evolved was the amazing part; the author was only 18/19, Lord Byron challenged her and other writers to write a horror story, and she had this dream.The four stars of this review was really...
I just rated the stories with three stars and I am already starting to feel guilty. There are the classics, the modern variations might be a better read in the 21st century, but they would never have been written if Dracula and Frankenstein had never existed. So please take your time and give it a chance. The classics deserve it.
Está bien redactado y hecho para niños (estoy casi segura de que es paraa niños lol), lo leí cuando estaba más chica y me gustó bastante.
Even though I didn't love either book that much I loved that they were combined in one volume here. The two books are just meant to be together.
A re-read for me; I remember reading this book in my mid twenties, but appreciated it more this time round. The Victorian era was certainly the high watermark of British literature and storytelling. In this book we have two classic horror novels, which in my opinion neither film or TV adaptation has ever fully done justice to the books. Indeed, the written word of Dracula in particular, has at times, been totally forgotten in modern screenplays. These are as the title states two "Classics of Hor...
excellent books
this is for Dracula only. I'd rather save Frank for another day when I'm feeling this genre. I really loved the story. It was suspenseful and wonderfully written. I loved how Dracula was so gentlemanly and accommodating to Mr. Harker in the beginning of his stay at the castle. It was almost hard to see him as the villain. It was somewhat annoying though that Van Helsing seemed to go from a respected Dr. to a bit of a drama queen.Dec 5-6 2017so I finally read Frankenstein....it started a bit slow...
