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.

I am French and read it when I was a child, in French, I didn't like the translation back then, something was off. Well, now that I am way more fluent in English I decided to give it another go. This time in its original version. And, oh my dear, was I surprised ! I loved it ! Absolute delight, wonderful text, rich and powerful in its grammar and vocabulary. The voice of Dan Stevens is great, the pace is calm, yet, full of emotions and turmoil when needed. I couldn't stop listening to it, and now that I'm done I just want to re-listen to it again. I even bought a paper version now, as it's such a great book ! Even if I was not usually drawn towards older texts or horror fictions, this one had such a grip on me I couldn't let it go.

a must read even if you're not much into the genre

Dan Stevens et l'équipe de production (notamment le fond sonore) font une très belle interprétation de l'œuvre de l'auteure. Malheureusement, certains passages sont longuets. Il me semble que l'idée est de donner une place importante à l'affect mais les complaintes répétées deviennent lassantes. De plus, je n'apprécie pas vraiment la morale de l'histoire, mais celà ne tiens qu'à moi.

Très belle narration, écriture viellie
