Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8
Originally inhabited by Native American tribes, territorial Mississippi has a complex history rife with fierce contention. Here, Robert V. Haynes does more than recount history; he explores the political and diplomatic situations that led to the formation and expansion of the Mississippi Territory.

Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.

Impeccable performance
Not only is this one of the most revered science fiction stories, the performance by the narrator is incredible. Frankenstein is a mother of modern science fiction and developed some of the most widely used science fiction tropes and story style. Even the more modern A.I. takes over the world stories owe much to this tale. The narrator does a masterful job of not just reading but infusing the tale with the emotional weight of the original text. He creates voices for the character that are both classical in nature and sincere. There was moments I found myself almost crying along with the characters as they fast hardship. I highly recommend this audio book!!

Surprising!
Would you consider the audio edition of WDA Classics Presents Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to be better than the print version?
I can't say. I never read the book. After reading this, I wish I had.
What was one of the most memorable moments of WDA Classics Presents Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?
Most of the book. All I've ever seen were the Boris Karloff movies about Frankenstein. This is so different from those movies! It shows how the monster was the real victim, his need for social interaction, and never wanting to hurt anyone. Instead, he's feared because of his size and looks. He never terrorized the villagers nor did they chase him with pitchforks. Victor Frankenstein is the real monster in this classic version.
Which character – as performed by W. B. Ward – was your favorite?
The monster.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A story of discrimination.
Any additional comments?
A must-hear for anyone like myself who has never read Mary Shelley's classic!

A monster?
This book was nothing like I thought it would be. All of my preconceived notions were incorrect. I was amazed at Mary Shelley's writing this at such a young age! I really enjoyed it. Once again W.B.Ward shows off his vocal chops with yet another terrific narration!

Worth the listen!!
This is a great listen. I really enjoy a wide variety of stories and I have become a loyal fan of WB Wards work. If you enjoy fiction of any kind you will enjoy this audiobook. If you enjoyed Ward’s previous narrations this one will not disappoint. If you haven’t this will make you a fan and you will want to search out his other work (it’s worth the effort!) to listen to.
The story was good and I must admit, is the first time I heard this story. Not normally a book I would have searched for and listened to but since I’ve enjoyed Ward’s work I figured I’d give this a shot. I really enjoyed the book and I would absolutely recommend it to you!
