Obsessed with the secret of creation, Swiss scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein cobbles together a body he's determined to bring to life. And one fateful night, he does. When the creature opens his eyes, the doctor is repulsed: his vision of perfection is, in fact, a hideous monster. Dr. Frankenstein abandons his creation, but the monster won't be ignored, setting in motion a chain of violence and terror that shadows Victor to his death.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a gripping story about the ethics of creation and the consequences of trauma, is one of the most influential Gothic novels in British literature. It is as relevant today as it is haunting.

Revised edition: Previously published as Frankenstein, this edition of Frankenstein (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

What did you like most about Frankenstein?

I liked the monster.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Frankenstein?

The monster's desire for acceptance by humans

What about Nico Evers-Swindell’s performance did you like?

Everything. Nico Evers-Swindell narrated the book perfectly.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The monster's appearance after his creator's death.

Any additional comments?

Frankenstein, the monster's creator, is the tragic villain of this novel. If he had taken responsibility for his creation and developed an affection for it, as he surely would have done had he got to know him, instead of being disgusted by his appearance and abandoning him, all would have been well.

The Monster Was Frankenstein

When I started this audiobook I really didn’t think I was going to enjoy it but halfway through, when the monster had been created and came to life, it was a completely different story. Although less than nine and a half hours in length, it seems almost an epic and I contribute that to the great distances travelled by Frankenstein in this book, which were wonderfully described by Shelley. A classic for a reason.

A nice surprise

This is a brilliant classic wonderfully narrated by Nico Evers-Swindell, which is definitely worth a credit.

Written in the early 19th century, it would be expected that the language may sound laboured to our modern ears. However, this was dreary and drawn out in the extreme. I felt no sympathy for any of the principal characters who spent the whole novel wallowing in their gloom, pessimism and self pity. Nico Evers-Swindell's reading started off with promise but gradually oddities crept in and eventually took over to an annoying degree. A perfect English accent for the first character but with American pronunciation. Very odd. The other characters inhabited strange accents with hints of west country and East Anglia, never settling except, perhaps, in the small Irish town where each inhabitant seemed to have come from a different region. All in all, a disappointing and depressing experience.

A dreary read
