Dracula
by Bram Stoker
At the time this novel was written in 1897 it is assumed Count Dracula is 469 years old. And the time it took me to read this book felt about the same.
The story at it's heart is very interesting. Had this book been given to an editor, the 400 pages could easily have fit into a 280 pages book, and I would have rated it 5 ⭐s. Too many descriptions which didn't add to the storyline but certainly added to the page count, made this a tiresome read for me.
There were paragraphs which could have been a single sentence.
Anyway, not all was bad there were certain good points too. I liked all the characters, except maybe Mina's whom I found bland, I was invested in the fates of all the characters.
But again, the end felt rushed and I wasn't really scared by the book.
Overall a pretty average read.
