Title: One of the best English novels ever written
Product review: Frankenstein the most recognizable title in fiction and yet the most neglected. Yes, the movies are fun but the novel is so important I'm surprised it isn't required reading for say, senior high school English. The issues it raises and explores include the paradoxical connections between life and birth and death. It examines relationships, the concept of "parenting", motherhood, sex and procreation. The world of nature and the man-made world, responsibility and knowledge, what makes us human. M.Shelly was only nineteen when she wrote it but she had suffered several miscarriges and the death of her baby by that time. The issues she writes about in Frankenstein must have been haunting her for some time. Almost two hundred years later this book has never been more relevant, and Frankenstein and his creation have become part of the popular consious. It's too bad the book's gotten pushed aside by movies, comics, etc.
