Customer Reviews
Odd but worth a quick read.
This definitely is not Dracula. It starts a little slow and seems a bit disjointed. Overall, interesting concept and the ending made it worth finishing.
Mediocre
I think Bram Stoker was going insane when he wrote this. It doesn't seem to make much sense. Certainly a very strange read but worth it because it's free I guess.
You can be too thin and too rich
And too serpentine. Interesting idea for a plot which doesn't hold together well until the last few pages.
Ben Franklin would say "I told you so" regarding the kite.
Stoker has a tendency to build up to a point that should be really scary, but then tends to back off. Alien movies do a far better job, although I wouldn't be surprised if the writer of those movies read this novel. Worth reading, but you really won't be scared.
