Book Review By Kristee Pittman
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

    Victor Frankenstien is thrilled to be at university. He throws himself into his studies and discovers what no one else has. It is possible to create life, specifically in the from of a human. Victor now doubles his efforts and manages to create his own human. However, Victor is disgusted by the creature's grotesque appearence and gutteral speech. He abandons the creature and endeavors to forget that it ever existed.
    The murder of his young brother brings Victor back home. While there, he again encounters his creation. The creature confronts Victor with a horrible request: to make another creature to be his companion. If Victor agrees, the creature will leave him and all mankind alone. If he doesn't, the creature will not rest until he has destroyed Victor and his family.
