One of our professors had an emergency and I was asked to step in her class and teach. They were getting ready to start Frankenstein and I had never read it :( I read it then but was only able to stay a little bit ahead of the students. I actually found that very interesting and still do a similar type of read along assignment with one of my smaller classes each semester...but anyhoo, I loved Frankenstein :) I actually couldn't believe this was the same green monster with the bolt sticking out of his neck...and of course, it's not. I, too, grew to love the monster...and felt so sorry for him :( I've never read Mathilda though...I'll put it on the list :)Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-33532139100109403422012-06-17T09:51:38.506-07:002012-06-17T09:51:38.506-07:00I had to study this for my English Lit A-Level for...I had to study this for my English Lit A-Level for a whole term and by the end of it, I hated it.

If I approached it as a re-reading, maybe I'd be more likely to appreciate it.<br /><br />I had never heard of Mathilda, so thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-75860167818239849922012-06-16T15:52:32.737-07:002012-06-16T15:52:32.737-07:00Laura, I don't mind flowery and sentimental (w...Laura, I don't mind flowery and sentimental (within limits) but for some reason I didn't connect with it here. It could totally be a case of it not being the right timing. I'd be interested to see what you think about Mathilda, seeing as how I liked that one. :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-77672459871423635942012-06-16T15:01:17.028-07:002012-06-16T15:01:17.028-07:00I've never seen an adaptation of Frankenstein ...I've never seen an adaptation of Frankenstein either!
