Frankenstein Audiobook

" It's worth more than a 4-star but not a 5. Once I got past the old-style writing, I enjoyed this book very much. The story is incredible and not what I had expected it to be. I guess I never really knew what the story of Frankenstein was. Found that it was an easier read when the monster was doing the narrating. All-in-all, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read. "

" What can I say? It's a classic. Great to read and there is a lot of depth, although it can be a bit dry at times, as some books from that era are. "

" Such a great novel. Ultimate classic. Will read again! "

" My first novel, read it in 5th Grade. "

" A classic and one of my favourite books of all time. "

" I read this because I was curious as to what it was all about. Frankenstien seems to have taken on a life of it's own (no pun intended) in movies. I thought this would be a scary book but it wasn't. I think it is a metafore in that if you create a monster, you need to deal with it. "

" Yayyy!! I'm so glad I finally finished this! I wish I did read it when I studied it in school. There are so many levels and layers to this story I didn't know existed. Loved it! "

" For a classic, of course it was good and I enjoyed it. We had to read it for my Literary Study. "

" her husband wrote it - lol "

" Utterly miserable, but quite compelling! "

" It was really given 2 stars only because it was the pioneer of its genre. Otherwise, the book was largely very flat and quite painful to go through. "

" Really good book. I enjoyed reading this, it has a little bit of everything in it. I haven't read many books that are this old, but I can tell this was far ahead of its time. Cheers, Mary Shelley. "

" Very nice, liked the questions, liked the exploration of man and monster, and very much liked that Frankenstein is the name of the scientist not his creation "

" Relentless hyperbole. But I liked it. "

" This, more than a horror story, brings the sad memories of a man in the search of the power that God only has. This search brings nothing but fatal and horrific consequences. "

" Interesting from a historical point of view, but quite a slow read. "

" Though newer audiences may find this book a little slow/boring (myself included), I can't help but think how frightening it must have been to readers when it was first published. "

" A nice quick science fiction story with gothic themes and religious undertones. The only thing I ever took issue with is that the monster has an articulate and large vocabulary, though this is explained in-book, so there's reasons for that, though I think they are flimsy. "

" i think its not scary "

" Perhaps the greatest piece of gothic literature, not only in its literary style and its ability to stand alongside time, but also in its premise--one that cannot be completely ruled out as false. "

" If it was possible to give a book Negative stars this would definitely gets negatives. "

" I really think the concept of this book is wonderful, but the execution of her ideas is just plain awful. A seriously near-terrible book. My margins are filled with non-stop exasperated comments. If you want to read something old and gothic and amazing, seriously, Bram Stoker's Dracula is the one. "

" I could relate to a lot of things in this books, mainly loneliness. "

" I "read" this story as an audio book. It was not at all what I expected but I enjoyed it and the dramatic reading of the audio book was very well done. "

" Very moving. It's a book about the human condition in it's rawest form. "

" Beautiful book that i wouldn't hesitate to read over and over again. "

" Loved this book! Very dark at some points but I thought it was incredible. "

" Victor Frankenstein is such a dick. I don't understand why anyone in the book is even vaguely nice to him. It is sort of enjoyable if you enjoy stupid men getting all emo and it is incredibly well written, even more so when you realise Mary Shelly was 19 when she wrote it. "

" Loved this book. Rereading it for a class helped solidify this feeling. "

" I liked it; it was just my usual style. "

" It makes me depressed to think a 17 year old girl wrote this, and still outclasses about half of all the fiction writers out there in the world today in a few pages. "

" This is a powerful journey of the Gothic mind. The imagery is especially powerful as a consideration of the movement towards finding the sublime in the world itself upon disenfranchisement with held beliefs. "

" It was kind of a hard book to read (for me). Some parts were really slow and hard to understand. But it is really a classic that everyone should read. It shows the harshness and brutality of humans towards "different" things. "

" I had to read this for an Open Uni course - it is very good "

" This is a beautifully written tale. "
