"talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it." ~ lady gaga
This has some of the most well utilized prose I've read. It's beautiful but not in an unnecessary or superfluous way; it's used to enrich the story to no end and I feel better for having read this. There is no prerequisite to reading this either, although I recommend reading Dracula, its purely because I like that book because you do not need to have read that book to read this one.
