This was a fantastic production. The voice acting was spot on and the story was seat of your pants. You kept guessing to the end.

Having never read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, I was floored by the power of the story. The theme of recklessly creating "monsters" is timeless, universal, and frightening.

Dan Stevens did an outstanding job bringing these characters to life.

Highly recommend this book for any library.

I was surprised how much I really loved this series. It moves fast and keeps the action going. The right amount of science keeps the story entertaining. No, this isn't a science project. If you want real, hard science, read a textbook.

Unfortunately, I found Bronson Pinchot to be an uneven reader. He started off rather dull, reading like the book was a textbook. He started to get better inflection and animation into the characters as the series went on, but couldn't decide on the character's accent. However, this didn't take too much from the story.

If science fiction horror is your genre like it's mine, don't pass this book up.

A very nice historical audiobook about a man I didn't know about that helped get mankind to the moon.

Todd Zwillich is a perfect reader. He makes what could be dry material into a great summertime read.

Highly recommended for history buffs and a anyone who loves space exploration.

I purchased this audio book and I was not the least bit disappointed. The tales are reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe with its dark, Gothic prose and fantastic descriptions. The first person narratives pulled you into the story.

However, it's the hard, skillful work of Andrew Leman and Sean Branney that brought the audio book to vivid life. I wish these two readers could read for every audio book. They're not just reading; they are acting the part of the narrator and take great pains to make pronunciation of foreign words sound fluid and natural.

This audio book is by far the best I've listened to and has, unfortunately, spoiled me. I now look for audio books with readers beyond passable instead of books that I prefer.

This audio book was worth every single penny and I can't recommend it enough.

This program completely blew me away! The story was very well imagined paying great tribute to Charles Dickens. The acting was top notch. The pace brisk with a very good flow. Better than anything on TV or movies nowadays.

If you like theater or classics, if you just like a good story, you need to pick this title up.

It was great to listen to this Audible production. This should have been made into a movie.

However, as compensation, I got to listen to top notch acting. I am glad I downloaded this and highly recommend.

I don't know where to begin. This program held me from the first and helped me understand the uglier side of the 'Good War'.

I highly recommend this book for everyone interested in getting all angles of World War II.

This was nostalgia for me. I have always loved Isaac Asimov's Robot series. Discovering it again has been a great joy.

Moreover, William Dufris is an excellent reader. He truly breathed life into the characters and drew me back into the future world of Earth.
