4 of 4 Stars Review of Frankenstein Diaries at Online Book Club
“Recommended to anyone interested in the lives of Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley… enjoyable reading and captures the feel of the time…from joining conversations on religion and philosophy with her father and his friends, to her stilted relationship with her stepmother and grief over her own mother’s death, we can see the events that shaped Mary Shelley’s life and inspired her writing of Frankenstein…a subtle but illuminating look… I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
Amazon User Review 5 Stars Secret Memoirs of Mary Shelley
“A great read. Haunting and involving, the author takes us on a journey of love and adventure with undercurrents of the angst of these two highly creative people. A complicated love story…a glimpse into the private worlds of these two remarkable individuals. We suffer with them, knowing great works of poetry and fiction will follow. We hear Mary Shelly in her own words writing in her journal; telling us her story. A great blend of truth and good story telling.”
Featured on KBoards “What a gripping account. I never thought that so many famous literary figures had inspired Mary Shelley to write this eternal classic. The travels, the sensual journeys and horrifying explorations into the human condition, the meaning of life, God, and humanity seized me. This is a wonderful read – a literary rollercoaster of emotions and exploration of the many journeys the heart can take.”
Audiofile Magazine Audiobook Review
“Narrator Heidi Gregory delivers a unique collaboration that includes diaries Mary Shelley kept while on a European trip with her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and her stepsister. January and Gregory have given new life to one of literature’s most important figures.”
