Frankenstein

By: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Narrated by: Daniela Acitelli

Mary Shelley wished with her classic Gothic novel Frankenstein to "make the reader dread to look round, to curdle the blood, and quicken the beatings of the heart". Mary Shelley succeeded.

Victor Frankenstein finally fulfills his dream of creating his own living creature, stitched together from the macabre remains of corpses. To his horror he finds he has created something even more ghastly than in his worst imaginings. Frankenstein has created a monster with a soul!

Absolutely thrilling!

This is one of the few unabridged versions of Mary Shelley's all-time-classic. I'd been looking for a great audiobook version of Frankenstein for quite a while. Well, here it is.

Brilliantly narrated by Daniela Acitelli, whose voice instantly puts you right into the story. Couldn't stop listening. Highly recommended.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

The Mary Shelley Classic! Do Not Miss!!!

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a classic tale and is brought to life by Daniela Acitelli. Ms. Acitellie does the most amazing job bringing this story life. She captures the desperation, anguish, rage, and utter despair of both Victor Frankenstein and his Monster during their monologues. Her performance is something that is truly outstanding and makes this classic tale even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Superb narration of a timeless classic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, and have in fact recommended it.

What does Daniela Acitelli bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Daniela Acitelli brings a female perspective to a story that has been predominantly male-centric. She gives each character warmth and acts out the scenes, giving the reader a truly emotional experience.

Any additional comments?

Everyone is familiar with the story of Frankenstein. We've read the book, watched the films, but listening to the audio version of this classic gives the story another dimension. This was a joy to listen to.

Flawless voice artist

The voice artist was great. She wrung each drop of emotion out of every character. It isn’t easy to enliven a book from 1818, but she has done it beautifully. Cheers.
