dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

3.5

A really interesting, well written, and thought provoking book that I will most likely never read again. 
I would most definately rate it higher if it was an unbiased rating, as it's incredibly well written and intriguing, but I just didn't enjoy it all that much.
I also disagree when people say that Frankenstein was the monster all along; he was arrogant, prideful, naive, and cowardly, but he wasn't the monster. 
I recommend the book, I think it's a classic that should be read, and I understand why so many people love it, it's just not my cup of tea ultimately.

El gran y temible conde Dracula se la paso durmiendo todo el libro, AÑOS escuchando historias de vampiros, escuchando de esta leyenda, mítico del terror. Y me vienen con esta poronga (perdón el lenguaje) mediocre!
Hagamos un conteo de que hace Dracula:
*Aterroriza un poco a Johnny
*Compra una casa
*Convierte gente a vampiro
*HUYE
*HUYE
*MUERE
Eso es todo.
