Frankenstein Vs. And Then There Were None

Frankenstein: Do I really have to explain this?

And Then There Were None: See here (spoilers)

I'm a sucker for Mysteries, but I'm going with Frankenstein on this one.

 

[Bloody Marquis]

I haven't read either (though I read a page of Frankenstein back in middle school), so I can't really choose.

Frankenstein. There's a reason the classics are classics - and the book itself is superbly done. It raises a lot of philosophical questions without ever really interrupting the flow of the story.

 

[Charles Chimag]

Frankenstein. A classic I actually read.

 

[Desensitized]

I'll go with And Then There Were None.

 

[Prof. Mecavio]

I'll go with "And Then There Were None", a great mystery-novel that keeps you guessing until the very end.

QB: While looking at the battles for round 1, I noticed that "Ender's Game" is listed twice.

High Fedeilty vs. The_French_Lieutenant's_Woman

High Fedelity:

Spoiler

From Wikipedia: Rob Fleming is a London record store owner in his 30s whose girlfriend, Laura, has just left him. At the record shop — named Championship Vinyl — Rob and his employees Dick and Barry spend their free moments discussing mix-tape aesthetics and constructing "top-five" lists of anything that demonstrates their knowledge of music.
Rob, recalling his five most memorable breakups, sets about getting in touch with the former girlfriends. Eventually, Rob's re-examination of his failed relationships and the death of Laura's father bring the two of them back together. Their relationship is cemented by the launch of a new purposefulness to Rob's life in the revival of his disc jokeycareer.
Also, realising that his fear of commitment (a result of his fear of death of those around him) and his tendency to act on emotion are responsible for his continuing desires to pursue new women, Rob makes a symbolic commitment to Laura.

The French Lieutenant's Woman:

I unfortunatley haven't read any, so I gotta pass.

 

[Prof. Mecavio]

I haven't read any of these books either, so I'm afraid that I'm going to pass as well.

High Fedelity, I didn't enjoy it that much, but I haven't read the other one.
