FRANKENSTEIN -Mary Shelly. Got a CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED version of this back in 1970 and tried to tackle the book proper when I was going on ten and after seeing the 1931 film. Found it ponderous and put it away after a read.
After re-reading, think it's very much like Stoker's DRACULA...when it's good, it's REALLY good, but a lot of filler. However, considering it's about 200 years old and from pretty much a teenage girl, not bad at all.
