I want to read this, never have. Is it campy at all? What I mean

I've just been reading some amazon reviews. One of them says

"Forget square-heads and green make-up, forget that dreadful modern remake with Kenneth Branagh and Robert DeNiro sit down and read one of the most remarkable science fiction stories ever written. "

So this makes me feel like giving it a go as I when I hear Frankenstein I often think of the above scenario. But it sounds like it could be quite good from these reviews.

My main question is if it's for adults, really.

"his is far from the popularised version of a tall, square headed freak with bolts in his neck; in fact it's almost like someone has been playing Chinese whispers with this story. The gruesome experimentation of the doctor whist playing a big role in creating a context is actually quite a small part of the plot. Shelley explores man's race towards their dreams and the inevitable horror and disappointment when they are achieved. The results are an exploration into each character and in depth analysis of things which turn them into the monsters they become."

I think I'll buy it then.

You should read it. It's an achievement.

it has nothing to do with queer literature
stop trying to queer the canon
there's plenty of actually queer literature to champion

The writing is atrocious. Just watch Young Frankenstein and call it a day.
