A review by efram
Dracula by Bram Stoker

4.0

Dracula’s rate of mystifying four stars reveals my strong and bloody recommendation for the novel. Epistolary never fails to engage a reader, inducing a feeling of excitement as pages are being turned one after another. I will recommend this to readers fond of interblending horror with adventure. I will not recommend this to women with a disliking to cliché themes of damsel in distress and saving the princess - plot exemption.

The novel's strengths, first and foremost is the brilliance of using epistolary as a writing approach - making the transition of every parts engaging and catchy, splendid and dashing representation of Dracula - producing a different perception of evil - elegant and intelligent not nitwit and beast-like. Emphasis on women was observed with some positive but mostly negatives portraying them weak, deceptive, fragile, and naive.
