So, everyone and their mother has heard of Dracula. I vant to suk your blud and all that jazz…but I would wager not many have read the original book.
I’ve always have been curious over the original text but I haven’t ever actually took the time to read it. So when I joined in on a Halloween Reading Challenge, I knew what I was going to pick as one of my four reads.
And my overall thoughts on Dracula…was that it was interesting.
I was expecting this big, creepy and scary book but ultimately, I was just interested by the parallels that I saw between this book and the various movie adaptations.
One thing that was certainly different was the pacing – and I really should’ve expected it given the publication date…but wow. Things took a lonnnng time to ramp up and happen.
All in all, this book was neat to read solely cause I’ve been curious about the legend for ages but it didn’t get to me the way Frankenstein or other monster books did.
