I won this in a First Reads giveaway on Goodreads. I have read Bram Stoker's Dracula. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this novel. I don't want to be overly negative so I'll just touch on a few things. I thought that it was a long book. It became hard to read in one sitting, and I felt myself getting distracted rather easily. I didn't feel any 'love' in the novel. It was overly lust filled, and then instant love. I had hoped this would not happen in an adult novel. The characters were so different from the original Dracula, I really had a hard time correlating them with the original. Lucy's character is hardly touched upon. I thought the use of mythology was completely irrelevant and unnecessary. Coupled with the rushed incomplete ending that I had a hard time following, I just couldn't get into this novel. Maybe you will.

Um....I might be famous in this book. Check out the acknowledgments at the beginning. For real.

Jacobs has a nice writing style and a comical wit. I would read his work again. This is enjoyable pleasure reading.

Ik had het al een paar jaar niet gelezen.
