I think Frankenstein's story is fabulous! I had an idea about it and it was completely wrong. Every one associates the name Frankenstein to the monster and it isn't so! I'm very happy to know that this is more than just the story of a "monster" but also the story of his creator. This story is of easy reading and interest to me and I recommend it to all of you who like to read the classics.

In the beggining I thought: "ok another cliché, I'm gonna hate this book to death!" but in fact it became very surprising with all its plot twists. I love the fact that women are the ones who narrate the story and not men!

Lord of the Flies is not a story that made very excited but is a story that tells us a great truth: there is no way man kind can live without leaders or order. It is inevitable! Our societies only improve and grow with responsible leadership. When a group of people doesn't have a person to rule, or one to set order, it ends up on being savage, uncontrolled and irresponsible. Summing up, it is very important that our leaders, around the world, trust their people but also know how to make the rules. This book is essentially about that but in the point of view of astrayed kids.
