Frankenstein: Interactive

Great layout, animations and writing style, reviving the original tale with a twist.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

This represents a stunning visual and literary advance for a modern generation. An awesome remake of a classic, one can only hope they continue to release further Ebooks of this quality, on a regular basis. I bow in admiration, even if Oxford is more stunning. Sorry guys.
