An incredible book. I expected it to be different than all the various popular conceptions of the story, but I had no idea how those differences manifested nor how happy I was to encounter them. If you have not read this story before, you know is likely wrong, and delightfully so.

I also much enjoyed the appendices, in particular the enlightening excerpts from the writings by Shelley's parents (I so need to read Godwin's Political Justice) and the other "ghost stories" by Lord Byron and John Polidori.
