2.0

Read along with Dracula Daily. An engaging way to consume the classic, but I didn't particularly enjoy the book—pacing was wildly erratic but overall too slow for my liking and the misogyny was less than palatable. The men were so stupid most of the time, and the women were frustratingly subservient. Skimmed sections of exposition which were uninteresting. Glad I've read it now, but won't be reading again.
