All I remember of /Frankenstein/ -the-book was how hard it was to get
through. And so a pain to read.

The films, BTW, appear to be based on a stage play, or on earlier
films, and not the book directly. There may have been an exception or
two, but, if they copy the book, they are long, boring, and praised
only by high-level intellectuals.

Unlike, say, Stoker's /Dracula/, which was written by someone who at
least knew how to do it.
