If you can get thru the first 50 pages the rest of the plot is interesting and not the saga of plantation ownership of the beginning

I just can't get through it. I want to so badly. It may just have to be an audiobook for me. The lack of chapter breaks, combined with the tiny text and long speeches just makes this such a difficult book to slog through.

Pas mauvais en soi, mais pas tellement mon genre. Peut-être que c’était plus original en 1976, mais ça m’a paru être un ramassis de clichés sur les vampires, avec quelques bonnes idées çà et là qui sont abandonnées aussi vite qu’elles arrivent. Beaucoup de longs passages répétitifs et des personnages plutôt irritants. J’imagine que je comprends pourquoi c’est un classique dans son genre, mais c’était pas pour moi.

frankenstein's monster meets lolita's monster meets all the self-pity and winding narrative of victor frankenstein himself. can't say i enjoyed myself but i can't say it didn't grip me either
