I started it on Monday. I bought the $1.23 Kindle version that is supposedly the 1818 draft, but the beginning with the letters is the same as the Project Gutenberg version, so not sure what edition I'm reading.
Don't think I've ever seen the full movie, but you're right, the book is NOTHING like the movie, which really surprised me. But then, in almost every case, I think books are better than movie adaptations.I'm about halfway through Frankenstein. And, as might be guessed, it is nothing like the movie.
I'm on chapter 11. Its been slow for me too.How's everyone doing? I'm about 1/4 of the way through. Slower going than I would have expected, since it's a re-read, but I should be done by discussion time.
I'm supposedly reading the 1818 version, but not sure if I've noticed any differences, so am curious to know about the minor change you spotted.I finished the newer edition and now reading the 1818 original - only found one very minor change. Maybe I'm not concentrating hard enough.
I'm on Chapter 15 now.I have started to read the book today, how is everyone else doing ?

I'm about to start chapter 16, so just a bit ahead of Lola3791 .I'm on Chapter 15 now.
Oh, that's annoying. Hopefully they'll get a move on.I still don't have it from library because of the new courier service being so slow.
Sounds like we're gonna have feastMush, you bring the McFiddish and digestives, Rubes how about you bringing some really good Swiss cheese?
Gil, how about your famous German potato salad? Someone else can bring Bleu cheese and a nice Chateau
Margaux from France. Everyone else bring whatever. We'll be traveling. I get the top bunk again and I'll bring
Twinkies and Cheese puffs, ha!!
It's definitely not a fast read. A lot of words, for very little action.Struggling but plodding on.
I finished it last night. I knew that if I didn't force myself to sit down and read it, I never would finish it.How's everyone doing now?
I'm about to start chapter 21.
