Summary
In the summer of 1816, Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley - the two great poets of their age - and a lovely 17-year-old named Mary Shelley were partying and reading ghost stories on the shores of Lake Geneva. They dared each other to come up with the scariest story. Young Mary was the only one to rise to the challenge, and she gave birth to the entire horror and science fiction genres by crafting a brilliant and chilling account of what it means to be human, what responsibilities we have to each other, and how far we can go in tampering with nature.
Frankenstein, published anonymously in 1818, was an instant runaway best seller! Chris Hendrie, who has appeared in several horror classics, including Psycho II, Fright Night, and Tom Holland's Twisted Tales, voices this compelling story of revolt, revenge, and, most intriguingly, one of the most gruesome and terrifying narratives ever told. This is an alarming book - in several very enjoyable ways. This is an amazingly brilliant book that sprang from the young mind of the remarkable Mary Shelley!

Enjoyable
I found this to be very enjoyable. The story as a whole is something I really enjoyed and I found the narration to be decent. While took me a while to get used to the narration I began to enjoy it more as it went along, although I did see better narration of the story it’s still very enjoyable if you give it time.
It’s definitely a worthwhile story to check out no matter what version or narrator you get. I like to have narration on my phone while reading on my kindle the same time it really brings you into the story and not focusing solely on the narration

Impossible narrative style
I found it impossible to understand the narrator. The stress seemed to be on the least appropriate word in the sentence and as a result the story was totally inaccessible.
I applied for a refund and bought a version with a different narrator.
Hopefully better luck next time.

Narrator was terrible
The book physically hurt to listen to with the narrator putting way too much emphasis on the weirdest words
