Review: Dracula


Dracula
Dracula by Bram Stoker

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I feel that the first 60% of the book is the best when they are discovering who Dracula is, but it fizzles out like a lame firework in the last 40%. Having been to Whitby myself and seeing Bram Stoker's inspiration for this novel it was like I was there in the 19th century reading the papers and reports of mysterious events, and that gave me a real connection to the antagonist and protagonists. I think it will be a novel I will re-read in a few years time to see if I feel differently about it.
