Summary: Needs a good narrator!
Comment: This is probably the most disappointing audio book I have ever "read." Why the reader thought it apt to make the main character, Victor Frankenstein--who was, what, 30? 35 years old maximum?--at the end of this novel sound like a decrepit old Swiss-German professor, is beyond my comprehension. It was so distracting that it interrupted my concentration on the events described countless times, forcing me to have to rewind, listen again, rewind, listen again, .....
Also, why, when everyone in the novel is European, are the only ones with non-American accents Victor and a few Irish people?
This reader ruined an otherwise fascinating novel for me. If I wasn't stuck on a long drive with nothing else to "read," I would have stopped it, and sent it back, and demanded a refund! In my opinion, Tom Casaletto should never be given another book-reading job again.

Summary: Classic Horror for Grown-ups
Comment: My wife and I listened to this unabridged recording on a long drive, and both of us enjoyed it.
If your only exposure to Frankenstein is from the movies, this is a more adult horror/SF/morality tale. First there is no "Doctor" Frankenstein, no Igor, no castle, no electicity, no robbed evil brain, and the brute reads Milton. The "fiend" is sympathetic yet becomes truly wicked. Victor Frankenstein is painted in shades of gray too, and he almost deserves what he gets - although the rest of his family doesn't. The book starts and ends in the Arctic. Sounds like the movies?
