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.

Dan Steven's masterful narration carries the full horror, power, and poignancy of Shelley's tragic and touching tale of Dr. Frankenstein and his "monster". If you've never read it - then listen to this version. It's outstanding. Stevens makes it even harder to believe that Shelley began the book at the tender age of 18! #Audible1

The reading of this was easy to listen to and the different voices were distinct and understandable. Frankenstein’s monster had so much sadness and despair in his voice. Just heart-wrenching.
I loved this story when I first read it. Glad to have an audio version that I can listen to while crafting.

One of the first sci-fi novels. If you only know the story from movies, listen to the original.
Very gothic - everything is beautiful and tragic.

Not like the movies. Listen to this sci-fi story

I never had the chance to read this in school but even if I had I probably would have loathed it. Now that I'm older I can appreciate it better but I still prefer Dracula. This book was good and I'm glad I read it. I'll definitely read it again. The performance was great, the voice was soothing. On the night I started this book I fell asleep just listening to the voice. lol
