Frankenstein Sparknotes

I recently read a book for my English 4 AP I literally could not put down. Though I was only supposed to read the first four chapters, I found myself so compelled by the writing I had to finish it in one night, a decision I actually did not regret the next morning, groggy as I was.

The book in question is the Frankenstein Sparknotes.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which the Frankenstein Sparknotes are based on, is a very dull, uninteresting novel that has not stood the test of time. I tried reading it a couple times, and fell asleep every time. So going into the Frankenstein Sparknotes, I had pretty low expectations.

Needless to say, I was proven wrong. The fact that the Sparknotes writers could make a lively, entertaining novel out of a story Mary Shelley was able to make nothing but boring, flacid and weak proves that it is not the story that matters, but the storyteller.

More so, unlike (most likely a) pothead Mary Shelley, the Sparknotes writers don't consider themselves holier than thou. Where Mary Shelley considered herself to good to explain herself, the Sparknotes writers offer a well written explanation of every chapter, explain such tricky and complicated matters as themes, motifs, and symbols. They actually care about their readers, and want them to understand the story on a deeper level.

I just wish she was alive to read the Sparknotes, just to say "I see where I went wrong".

For these reasons, I urge you to read the Frankenstein Sparknotes-NOT Arrogant, untalented crack whore Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
