About this ebook
Reducing the original text by almost forty pages, this abridged version of Frankenstein also updates the language of the original novel for modern readers. Sentence by sentence, we have replaced outdated vocabulary and convoluted paragraphs in a way that is true to the original text but easier to follow. This version also provides careful edits of overly long and redundant scenes so that the main story moves along at a faster pace.
