Frankenstein Materials

Consider using a podcast to help you read portions of the novel. You can download several free ones in the app store by searching Frankenstein. I would recommend either of the following sources.

--Frankenstein on-line novel

--Frankenstein Dramatic Reading In the Loyal Books version, different actors read the different characters, making it sound like you are listening to a play.

--Frankenstein Audio Book by Loyal Books (Librivox recording) - In the Librivox version, a single reader (female with a British accent) reads the entire novel.
