= FRANKENSTIEN   By : Mary Shelley  1) "You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been." Explanation, To me this quote means is that someone is wanting to learn and gain wisdom on things. And the person saying the quote is saying that they have been there before and wanted to learn. But the person saying the quote found out it wasn't as easy as they thought it would be and, they don't want it to hurt the person who is in that spot they were once in. 2) "Man," I cried, "how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom!" Explanation, This quote to means how stupid can someone be when there trying to learn something. 3) "I am alone and miserable; man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create." ﻿  Eplanation, To me this quote means that this man is alone no one want's to talk or be around him because, he has something wrong with him. There also saying that no one will ever talk to them unless there the same creature and that someone would have to make that creature.  Critic Quotes, =

Amazon.com Review
//Frankenstein,// loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayered //doppelgänger// themes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. As fantasy writer Jane Yolen writes of this (the reviewer's favorite) edition, "The strong black and whites of the main text [illustrations] are dark and brooding, with unremitting shadows and stark contrasts. But the central conversation with the monster--who owes nothing to the overused movie image … but is rather the novel's charnel-house composite--is where [Barry] Moser's illustrations show their greatest power ... The viewer can all but smell the powerful stench of the monster's breath as its words spill out across the page. Strong book-making for one of the world's strongest and most remarkable books." Includes an illuminating afterword by Joyce Carol Oates. //--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.//

From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-Full-color drawings, photographs, and reproductions with extended captions have been added to the unedited text of Shelley's novel, thus placing the work in the context of the era in which it was written. The artwork faithfully represents the text and makes this edition appealing to reluctant readers. Unfortunately, many of the captions provide tangential information that, although interesting, interrupts the flow of the story. However, readers will quickly learn that it is not necessary to read every caption and appreciate this volume for its many quality illustrations. //Michele Snyder, Chappaqua Public Library, NY// Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. //--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.//

From Booklist
Gr. 8^-12. Part of the Whole Story series, this is the full text of Mary Shelley's classic gothic story, which was first published in 1818 and has been a wild success ever since. Philippe Munch's illustrations have none of the power of Barry Moser's unforgettable woodcuts that evoke the loneliness of the grotesque outsider (in the Pennyroyal edition published by the University of California Press in 1984). The design here is crowded, and the type is small. However, the many period prints and maps in color and in black and white, with long, detailed captions, do provide the historical setting for the story, its geography, customs, and ideas. Teens enthralled by pop versions of the myth as well as science fiction fans will be interested in going back to the full version of what has been called the first science fiction novel and learning about the circumstances under which it was written by a woman, just 18 years old, 170 years ago. //Hazel Rochman// //--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.//
