Dracula


Book: Dracula
Author: Bram Stoker
Publication: 1897
Genre: Horror, Gothic

Bio: This story is told with letters and newspaper articles. The story follows Jonathan and Mina Harker as Jonathan goes to Transylvania to help the Count Dracula buy land in England. After the death of Mina's friend Lucy the group realizes that something is wrong and there is an evil creature among them. The group hunts Dracula back to his home back in Transylvania where he is finally saved by Mina Harker.

Review: In all honesty this book took me forever to get through. I couldn't really submerse myself in it, I think the biggest problem for me was the style of writing. I didn't really like the letters that constantly changed views. I think it would have been easier for me to follow if it had been told all from the same point of view.

Rating: Top of the Stack, while it didn't really hold my interest since Dracula is a classic I would be willing to re-examine it later on in life.
