Reviewed by SUZUKI Erika.

In this level 3 reader, this is a Science Fiction.

There was a man Victor Frankenstein. His father, his younger brother William, his friend Henry and a woman Elizabeth who was the daughter of his father's best friend were his dear people. He left home and went to a far university from hometown to learn secret of life. he determined to make a good-looking man from dead human bodies. However, he had not made a man, he made a wicked Monster!
The months passed. William was killed. Frankenstein was sure that the Monster killed him, and the forecast was true. Moreover, the Monster forced the promise to make a bride with Frankenstein. The Monster was very angry and killed henry, because Frankenstein destroyed the new Monster through Henry's advice.
Frankenstein married Elizabeth. Frankenstein thought that the next aim was himself, but actually the Monster killed Elizabeth in order to go through the same sadness.
Years passed. Frankenstein followed the Monster to kill him. The journey had ended at place of ice and snow. The Monster revenged and went to his lonely and terrible death.

This reading is a good chance for straight understanding, because I don't know the correct story of "Frankenstein" until now. This story is very sad and unhappy. Therefore I surprise that the author Mary shelley writes this story when she is nineteen. I think the subject matter is difficult, but this is a substantial book.
