After seeing the play, I had to read the novel, and it matched all expectations. The sections left out by the play were interesting, such as the captain's journals in the Arctic.
The brilliance of Frankenstein is how it is a fantasy/sci-fi story, told brilliantly that can be appreciated at the basic level of story telling, but has philosophical undertones, that I pointed out in my post on the play. It makes you think, alongside enjoying a fantastic story.
