One of the original horror novels. Although Frankenstein never really scared me, the writing and the science is outstanding.

BLURB

'I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.' A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination -- fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life -- conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Written in 1816 when she was only 19, Mary Shelley's novel of 'The Modern Prometheus' chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, "Frankenstein" remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.


REVIEW

This book was also a required summer read, while reading I had mixed emotions about the book. Boring,lovely, too long, too short, depressing, too true. I simply could not make up my mind. Now that I have finished I must say that I truly enjoyed reading this book (though I wouldn't do so again)

I liked the concepts/ideas behind this book, but I really think I could have done without the endless descriptions of the icebergs.

Definitely a unique plot. No one tells such a forlorn story as Shelley.

Boring!!! Poor Frankenstein...

I was sort of afraid that this book, being a classic, would have some overall message to it. It didn't really seem to- mainly, it was a really good animal/adventure story. A bit dark to be a kids book, so it surprises me that it's a classic. I enjoyed it, but I'm not surprised my parents wouldn't let me read it when I was really little.

THIS IDEALLY SITUATED ESTATE,
COMPRISING SIX ACRES OF EXCELLENT BUILDING LAND,
IS TO BE DEVELOPED WITH HIGH CLASS MODERN RESIDENCES
BY SUTCH AND MARTIN, LIMITED, OF NEWBURY, BERKS."

Such reads a notice board that is put up near a rabbits' warren. But since rabbits cannot read human writings, they do not understand that the sign spells the end of their warren. They do, however, have among them a weak, small rabbit called Fiver who has prophetic abilities. Although he cannot put his paw on it, Fiver senses that something terrible is about to happen. He warns the Chief Rabbit of the impending danger, but to no avail. Growing desperate, he and a few companions flee the warren.

Thus begins a journey beset with dangers, death, grief, and a struggle for survival. The main characters are the already mentioned Fiver, known for his otherworldly insight; Bigwig, the biggest and strongest of the group; Blackberry, a rabbit with wits and brain power; and Hazel, whose authority makes him the future Chief Rabbit.

The first main stop of the rabbits is at another, seemingly prosperous, warren. Once again it is only Fiver who senses that something is terribly wrong with the place. But they find out soon enough: Bigwig gets caught in a rabbit snare set by humans. It is then that the rabbits realize the truth about this peaceful warren: it is maintained by humans for raising and killing rabbits.

Bigwig survives and learns his lesson of humility. As of now, he begins listening to Fiver.

After overcoming more dangers, the rabbits finally start a new warren on a hill named Watership Down. The only problem is that they have no does among them; their warren will therefore die out within a few years. Spurred on by the desire to produce offspring, the rabbits go in search of does that are willing to join their warren. In this they get help from a seagull, who becomes a very unusual friend of the rabbits.

And on it goes . . .

CONCLUSION
The description above is far from capturing the beauty, depth, and melancholy of the book. For in the experiences, faith, and deeds of the rabbits, we see a reflection of our own lives. As Adams writes: "Rabbits (...) are like human beings in many ways. One of these is certainly their staunch ability to withstand disaster and to let the stream of their life carry them along, past reaches of terror and loss. They have a certain quality which it would not be accurate to describe as callousness or indifference. It is, rather, a blessedly circumscribed imagination and an intuitive feeling that Life is Now."

This is one of my favorite books of all time and I have read it at least three times separated by several years. It always amazes me.

I didn't find this scary because I identified with Carrie. It was just a good read. I felt that her classmates, well, didn't get what was coming to them, because nobody deserves that, but, it's a good lesson: don't pick on those who are different than you.

Nice book. Thoughtful and unique.
A high school student bullied thoughout her life with an overly religous mother who has absolutely no sympathy for her. She also has the power of telepathy. She uses this power to seek revenge against those who humilated her. In the process she reeks havok against her hometown leaving many casualites in her wake, including her mother. A dark and interesting read.

Fight Club men are real
And they destroy the whole world
But everyone dies

Palahnuik writes with a dynamic pen. This dark story of a split personality is an excellent read.
