Summer fun book club report 2

Title of my book is Frankenstein.
Retold from the Mary Shelley original.
My book has 153 pages, and I am now on page 84.
This week I read 31 pages.
I understand about 80% of what i read.

A little bit about the story
Victor Frankenstein after he finished his study, he had a decision to make. He could go home and marry Elizabeth, or he could stay and continue his work in the lab. Instead, he stayed in Ingolstadt because he still had question about the human body and how it worked. What gives creature life? It was hard question but he needed to answer. He worked very hard and he forgot everything about his family, he didn't send the letter to his family for a long time. After that, he reached his goal. He created the monster but he couldn't control it. He came back home because his brother, William was died, and Justine was guilty. Justine, William's nanny is a good girl, she was guilty, but she is perfectly innocent. Victor Frankenstein knew who was killed William, but he couldn't told everybody because the monster did it.

My opinion about this story

Victor Frankenstein gave up his love and choice his major. So I think he got a big mistake. He works hard and forgot everything about his love, his family and his health. Everybody felt happy when victor came home because they are a family and they was sad because William was died. When we felt happy, bad, sad family always listen to us and take care for us. Justine is a good girl, she was guilty, but she is perfectly innocent. How is that fair? Victor Frankenstein should have help her because he created the monster.

I am glad that you are reading so much! Good Job! However, I am concerned about what you are writing about your book. Please do not copy from the internet or from the back of the book. I want to read what you wrote about the book, not someone else. Thank you. Gail
