A review by manjala
Dracula by Bram Stoker
3.0
This was a very slow read for me, for some reason. Even though it was a good story, it was difficult to get through for me somehow. I think it was mainly because of the dialogue, which was quite excessive, in my opinion, even for a classic. A lot of moments made me just think "aaaghh you've said this a couple times already! Get on with it!"
I enjoyed the female characters in this, especially Mina! She really carried the story. The other (male) characters felt a little like one and the same to me, I had trouble separating them from eachother in my head while reading.
The most fun was following the characters as they tried to discover the mystery-- I can't imagine what it would've been like reading this back when it first came out! It definitely must've been a lot more thrilling and scary than what I experienced at least.
