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.

What a lovely novel! Reading the original makes you realize how shallow the variants of the story, often presented in movies and plays, are. The narrative is vivid and laden with pictures. I could see the events unfold on the screen of my mind. The philosophical message of the story comes out loud and clear...a true treat for book lovers. This is what I would like to call 'sublime horror.'

The narration is also good but would have sounded much better if there were no technical problems owing to inept sound engineering. Dan Stevens skillfully creates the moods with his great voice and modulations. However, there appear to be technical glitches in the recording. Sometimes two pieces of narration apparently recorded at two different times and brought together later do not gel well. The clear change in voice dynamics jarred my ears in a couple of places. Besides, some lines are spoken twice ... this is again a defect in audio editing. The problems with the narration have nothing to do with the performance of Dan, they exist because of bad sound engineering.

The social dilemma added to the story very well. Best part for me was the narration. Wonderful listen! Definitely recommend.

More philosophical than I expected!

Dan Stevena’ narration was magnificent, theatrical and smooth. It felt like watching Frankenstein be performed on stage in front of me. It made the story all the more intriguing.

Just like theatre

Dan Stevens have narrated the Sci-fi in a very precise pronunciation and slow paced manner, even beginners like me can make good use of.
