About this listen

Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration - Male, 2013

Audie Award Finalist, Classic, 2013

Narrator Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Any additional comments?

There is a reason this book still resonates after two hundred years. Totally different to the various film adaptations, an epic tragedy I would urge everyone to experience. It is relentlessly miserable, with salvation and redemption for none, so perhaps not all in one sitting.

Timeless

Dan Stevens narrates beautifully. I read the book as a youngster and felt the urge to revisit as an adult. Stevens articulates well and characters are easily distinguished . highly recommended.

excellent telling of the classic

you know when you song karaoke and you start too high and then the song gets higher and you're screwed?

The monster started too sad and then he had to maintain that voice for 20 chapters. Needs re-recording- classic novel turned monster into a whiny wimp, sounds like the goth from IT Crowd.

spoiled by narrator

A wonderfully macabre, melancholy tale. Sometimes it’s incredibly long winded, but it adds to the complete and utter despair of the “fiend” and Dr. Frankenstein. A bucket list must!

Excellent.
