A review by bookswithcesco
Dracula by Bram Stoker
2.0
I hated every second of this book.
The epistolary aspect of it is genius… if it was a shorter book and had some actual depth apart from the mystery elements.
This book is just heavily overwritten and could have been chopped in half with the exact same plot and story.
The only real kudos I can give it is that it originated and created the vampire. And that is all I needed it for.
There isn’t nearly enough vampire or horror in this though, it’s a gothic mystery book and idgaf what anyone wants to tell me about it.
