About this audiobook
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature’s hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein. Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever. ©2020 Pandora's Box (P)2020 Pandora's Box

The story itself is classic, given that the author wrote this on a dare at the age of 18 is quite spectacular. The book itself doesn't go it to the amount of details that I prefer in regards to the creatures creation but maybe that just me. Also there is an over use of the word "wretched". That said the narrator is monotone and should seriously consider a change in profession.

This is the 1818 text version but still it missed some words and paragraphs that were in the book.
