A review by aldoregan
Dracula by Bram Stoker
2.0
Another classic book? *gasps* YAAAAY!!!
I'm staying true to my words when I said that I'll read 10 classic books this year. Only 8 more to go!
The characters in this book weren't interesting. It failed to show characterization, and so the characters- as individuals- turned out to be bland.
This wasn't really a page-turner in my opinion. The writing style is in diary format but I guess it didn't work out for me. I expected it to be more thrilling than it was. But though it lacked thrill, Stoker was still able to entertain. It's safe to say that it's what kept me from DNF-ing this book.
But I really like how I came to learn so much about Dracula. I mean, even in the present, his name is well-known and I had no idea about his story until now that I've read it.
Overall, I think this is just an okay book. Not as horrifying as I thought it'd be, but still entertaining as hell.
