slow-paced

1.0

Another read for my Empire and it's Fictions course.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BORING, SLOW, UNNECESSARILY LONG WINDED BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.

They literally kill Dracula at the LAST SECOND and spend SO LONG hunting AHHHHH.

The only character that has rights is Minna, with John coming at a second and that's probably because he is Minna's husband (I also liked Lucy).

Abraham and his monologues I can't JUST GET TO THE POINT.

While it's interesting knowing one of the original stories of vampires, to know the original Dracula story, and to see how they've changed and kept some similarities from them in popular culture today, I literally would not recommend anyone reads this book.

Interested to see it's relation to empire, so let's hope this boring book can produce some interesting analysis for my essay 🤣🤣🤣
