Book Review of The Jewel of Seven Stars

The Jewel of Seven Stars

This book starts out strong but then kind of wanes until the last 50 pages. It's a little bit of a "thick" read, but Stoker manages to keep one's interest. The ending sort of surprised me because it takes on an almost Ozzie and Harriet feel while maintaining a classic Stoker spookiness. Written in true Stoker style, the book speaks of fantasy horrors that one could conceivably believe to be real. Not one of Stoker's best, though, but certainly not his worst. All in all, I would still say a must-read for true Stoker fans.
