A review by intertsellaerose
Dracula by Bram Stoker

Did not finish book. Stopped at 74%.
I found the first half very interesting, particularly Jonathan’s stay with the Count as well as the letters between Lucy and Mina and the business with the wrecked ship was exciting. 
However, after Lucy’s death I think it just became really quite boring for me.

I do enjoy the old style of writing (it’s very satisfying to read) but it does reallyyyy go round the houses. I also sorely disliked Van Helsing with his self righteous explanations and just ughhh.
But whatever. I did actually mainly enjoy Dr Seward’s chapters about Renfield, and his relationship with Mina was sweet. 
Overall I think it’s a good one to read as a classic and some of the characters make it worth it, but I just couldn’t stick it out anymore lol
