Fantastic way to interact with a classic
By far, one of my favorite ways to interact with the classic book Frankenstein. I pull this out every few years around Halloween and read it. It’s a great joy pleasure to interact with it.
Buy e-book instead
Reshuffled text with no images, not sure if it even follows the original book, very disappointed with the purchase.
I prefer Shelley’s but this is ok
I adored the 80 Days game and replayed it three times, so I decided to try this one. Unfortunately, Frankenstein is much more limited and not nearly as open ended in terms of what happens and how, which limits the value of revisiting it. I also find the writing, a bit of a pastiche, less interesting than Shelley’s.

Scam alert
On sale, but not updated to work with newest phone update. Lowering the price for a product that is literally not operational is pathetic. Scam. Con.
App does not work with iOS 11
Bought this app for a literature course that I’m currently taking. It was working fine with iOS 10. When iOS 11 came out, it stopped working because it need to be update it. Please update.
Not worth it💸
Not what I expected from inkle. 💸
Great book love it
Works perfect on my air 3 But where is the update for iPhone 6 plus. I'm not able to see it full screen
Syncing
Really like the app but would like it better if you could sync between iPad and iPhone. Read a few chapters on iPad last night and tried to continue on iPhone going to work this morning but book back at beginning. Couldn't even select chapter to jump too so had to go through all story again to catch up. Am I missing something out in settings that would let me do this. Would give 5 stars if this possible.

Simply Awesome!
This is an excellent idea. I really enjoy the way the reader can change the story to suit any situation. A beautiful idea and well worth the money and immersion in great reading and beautiful graphics. Looks beautiful on the iPad Air.
Brilliant, I love it!
Could you please fix that by having chapter 27 be This app is amazing exclaim it's wonderful being able to choose what happens during the Frankenstein story. I have one suggestion: in the extras portion, Chapters 26 and 27 are identical, except 27 has Walton's continuation of Letter 4 at the end. Could you please fix that by having chapter 27 be just the continuation of the fourth letter, without the Chapter 23 duplicate at the beginning of the twenty-seventh chapter? Otherwise, this app is awesome and I can't wait for the update!

No updates?
Last update was over half a year ago.
The experience is spoilt with the letter boxing on an iPhone 5 screen.
You need to push an iPhone 5 update as soon as possible.

Engaging
Adding interactive elements to a well-known, public domain text is a great idea. The app also has nice, atmospheric flourishes.
I highly recommend this app, and look forward to more projects from this developer!

Wonderful :)
I find the concept intriguing and the details frightfully accurate :) I recommend this for readers looking to take this book to a new level.
Fantastic!!!
I must say this book is an absolutely wonderful asset to the iPad, with absolutely gorgeous graphics it's a stunner!
To be able to alter the page by page direction of the book I think its fabulous.
With crisp sound effects and a fantastic story to start with this app is way more worth it weight in Gold
What a fantastic job just like an artisan with his/her masterpiece
What else can I say other than...
BUY THIS BOOK ITS BRILLIANT!!

Mr
Enjoyed this book it is a really good read but don't buy it thinking every time you read it you'll have a different experience.
I have read it a few times and intentionally made the opposite decisions and you hit the same mile stones every time and all the same people die, it just describes the event differently.
Good first time though.

Amazing.
I give it two thumbs up!
More please
Beautiful and engaging reading experience! In reference to a previous review, most secondary school children in england read Frankenstein as part of GCSE English. No loosely based film could be a legacy for a book that is embedded even in our own language, no less important than Dracula!
More of these books please, several from other developers but don't want to risk a comparatively inferior product!

Wow!
Quite simply brilliant visually and literary. The choices you make lead you down different paths in the story so be sure to choose wisely because you can't go back (unless you reset the whole story), which is a good thing because it means you can read it again once you're done.
Well worth the money...well done all involved!

ATTENTION!
You can fix problems with crashing / freezing by turning your device off and on! :D
Worked for me. Fantastic app, I hope they make more like this!

Stunning achievement
I was slightly hesitant initially, having tried to read Frankenstein before. And would the interactive emphasis spoil the atmosphere of the story?
I needn't have feared because this has been lovingly produced - with illustrations and presentation that evoke the period and story so well. The choices that are presented are beautifully integrated into the story and don't allow it to stray too far from the main theme. Instead they add to the involvement you feel as you seem to influence the monster's path, or assist Frankenstein in his experiments.
I can't recommend this highly enough and hope that the creators, inkle, are sufficiently successful to do something similar with some of the other classics. One of the best apps I've found for the iPad.
