Reading the book and watching the movie are two different things, as we all know.
The original Boris Karlof Hollywood version may leave one never knowing what was behind the meaning to Mary's work.
If that is the case with anyone, then this is a must watch movie.
There have been liberties taken in this movie, but overall it does stay on the history of it all pretty fairly.
I have read the book a couple times, many years ago. You get a better sense of where the author is coming from when you read a book, but I gotta say that this 2017 Mary Shelly movie puts pieces together I never fathomed before about the author (even with the liberties taken)


Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus (1818)
Written by Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Mary Shelly) the 18-year-old wife of celebrated poet Percy Shelley.
A Modern Prometheus (Frankenstein) was the product of a restlessly creative mind, emotional turbulence and stifling Georgian social pressures.

Mary Shelly (2017)
The love affair between poet Percy Shelley and 18 year old Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, which resulted in Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein.
