Dracula

Title: Dracula
Author: Brahm Stoker
Rating: Middle shelf

Dracula is an epistolary novel. It is made up of different journals, newspaper clippings, and letters to tell the story. This helps you get to know the characters really well and the way their mind works. Dracula has many many characters which help move the story along to solve the mystery of Dracula. From Doctor Van Helsing to Doctor Steward each character brings a special set of skills to the table. Will they be able to take discover Dracula and save the world?

I enjoyed Dracula. I read it in my English class and we deeply analyzed the book for dramatic irony, motifs, and other patterns in the text. I think I would have liked the book better reading it by myself because then I could read at my own pace and I could analyze it according to how my mind works rather than trying to fit it to others perspectives. However, I am still glad I read it. 

Check it out and let me know what you think!! Happy Reading!!!
