reviewed Dracula by Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker: Dracula (Hardcover, 2012, Canterbury Classics)

The classic tale of the bizarre Carpathian count, who drinks human blood to stay alive, …

Impressively dry misogyny

The first third of the book is dreadfully slow and dry, the middle is alright, and it ends with a Benny Hill-esque chase sequence and then suddenly the book abruptly ends.

All-in-all it's a rather unimpressive book full of misogyny, and it's quite clear that Bram Stoker had never had an actual conversation with a woman in his whole life.

I wouldn't recommend reading it, but I guess there are worse books around.
