Jim Donaldson
Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction. Includes introduction and commentary by Mary Shelley. Required reading for any fan of science fiction and horror genres. A classic.

So anyway, the novel is very, very perfect. This edition, I think, is very well done. The narrator does a great job with all of the characters. Sometimes, especially in older novels, some of the female characters done by male narrators seem kind of put on, as do almost any character with any type of an accent.
But this narrator does a very, very good job. The different accents are bold and authentic and done with an air of meaning and authority that I really, really liked.
Jim Donaldson's speech patterns are also very clear and easy to understand.
I think he does a great job reading this classic novel, making it very enjoyable and very accessible.
A Very Good Performance of a Classic Novel
