Frankenstein book was a little long to read and not very interesting to me. The pictures were good to have to somewhat visualize what was going on‚ but otherwise the book was a waste of time to me.

Usually‚ when a movie is made about a story in a book or a play‚ the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie tends to add small details or leave some out in order to meet time limits and to make the story what they think will be more interesting. Such is the case with Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Also‚ we see that grandmothers dislike for the Nazi’s was emphasized more in the books‚ but Bruno’s father is more tolerant of his mother’s views showing he actually cares for her. This is evident in the quote from the book‚ “‘Now mother‚’ said father in a tolerant voice. ‘You know this isn’t the time.’” In the movie‚ it
