Frankenstein
Let’s be sometimes you're asked to read an “important” book that you don't want or have time to read. Sometimes you try and it’s just so boring and impenetrable that you can’t get through it. And then, even worse, sometimes you’re asked to take a test or write a paper about it. If that sounds familiar, then BookHacker was designed for you.
BookHacker summaries strip away all the subtlety and stuffiness of literature’s classic works (100% “thou”-free guaranteed) and get right tothe point. Taking away all the guess work, BookHacker presents the book's warm gooey center in a concise, logical and entertaining way. Justbecause literary classics can be dry and boring doesn't mean understanding them has to be.
In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, BookHacker takes you all over 18th century Europe as Dr. Victor Frankenstein and a sailor named Robert Walton tell the story of the monster Dr. Frankenstein built when he discovered the secret to creating life. We follow the story as it ping-pongs back and forth between narrators and learn that the monster basically kills everyone Dr. Frankenstein has ever cared about. BookHacker cuts through the darkness of this Gothic horror story and sheds light on Shelley’s discussion of alienation, identity and dangerous knowledge.
"I'm not going to lie--I used this to get out of having to read the book for class and it worked" Steven, 10th grade
“BookHacker gave me exact details and plotting, EXACTLY everything I needed to get through a dry, tough book” Rebecca, college freshman
“This was surprisingly cool and honest. Would I want my teachers to knowI used it? No, but that's why it's worth buying." Andrew, 12th grade
