sasstronaut 's review for:
Dracula
by Bram Stoker
A classic novel worth investing the time to read.
At times, the old-fashioned, Victorian writing is cumbersome to read but on the whole, the book was fascinating. I was initially surprised at the length of the book and worried it would be too drawn out. However it does not present itself to be a problem. Stoker did a brilliant job of keeping the suspense of things without becoming anti-climatic. I found myself thinking about the book and being drawn to read it much more than I originally thought.
By giving you events in the form of journals, Stoker made it seem more realistic and it gives you the feeling that youre investigating something after the fact. I found the characters themselves to lack substance but they had enough character to make it interesting to read the story from different points of view.
I greatly enjoyed seeing the differences, or perceived differences, of east and west for this time period. Bringing such ancient lore as Vampires into the comparatively modern age was a little something extra that I enjoyed as well.
