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.

Narration was very well done for each character. The wording is done very eloquently, so if you like words, then this is a go. I'm not sure if the author intended me to hate the main character as much as I did, but if so, she did a wonderful job. Frankenstein's "monster", on the other hand, completely captured my heart. A thoughtful, Gothic look at humanity (or the lack thereof). A must read even if solely for it's groundbreaking place in sci-fi and horror fictional history.

I love this story and the style of writing. The audio was very well done, with different voices...

I’m a teacher(physics) and I try to read/reread the books my students read in English to discuss it with them. This audiobook did exactly what I wanted. Gave me a quick way to refresh my memory, but the performance was nothing outstanding.

I never knew this book was so depressing... the word miserable is only used like 10,000 times in this book. Good narration though.

this was the best narrator of any book I have listened to so far. The book was beautifully written, if you have not read it yet definitely give it a listen!

Narrator was great

An illustration of how the human spirit can become malignant when faced with rejection and cruelty. There is so much more involved in this story than what is seen in the adaptations in movies. The story is implausible in many respects but it is science fiction so that is expected. It is incredible that the young miss Shelley has written such a tale of deep feelings and insight into the human faults.

Classic still pertinent today

I have read Shelley's revised version of Frankenstein a number of times and listened to an audiobook for that version, but I much prefer this original 1818 version and this narrator.

Brilliant narrator

While fantastic as a story, Frankenstein is a sad commentary on human to human treatment.

An amazing work for an 18-year-old author!

None of the movies do justice to this powerful story. the horror in this story is not the creature but his treatment by Humanity or should I say in humanity.

Amazing story of the human condition

Suddenly immersion function gone - 2 bucks for audio, a dollar for the book but will take a 10 min. phone call to resolve. Great product, fantastic value, occasional hassles a bummer
