Need quite a short audiobook to listen to next, after finishing Natasha Pulley's The Mars House today. I've got an audiobook reserved at the library that should be available on 2nd of Feb, so don't want to start one of the absolute honkers I have on the list for this year. So up next, read by Dan Stevens, the book sometimes called the first modern science fiction book. Frankenstein.

It's been many years since I read Frankenstein, and I want to read a book called Our Hideous Progeny by C. E. McGill, which is a novel about Victor Frankenstein's niece, that obviously has plenty of references to Mary Shelly's classic, so I need a refresher.

@beecycling how was The Mars House (both as a story and specifically as an audiobook)?

@aburka The audiobook is very well narrated. The book itself is a bit... odd. It's never boring, I was always interested in what's going on. And the main narrator is a sympathetic character to follow. But there are some aspects that make me wonder what she's going for with the story. But it's definitely an enjoyable book, even if it makes me go "wait, what's being implied here?" in places.
