Helpful Score: 1

This is a very long story and honestly, it gets a bit boring occasionally. The author does get to rambling at times. I am not sure that she needed to write such long winded descriptions. The tale might have been improved if the book was a little shorter. Not a bad story-just too long to hold my interest in some chapters. On a positive note, it is very suspenseful at times and will keep you hanging on the edge of your seat. The fact that I did struggle to the very end of this novel is evidence enough that I actually enjoyed the book. This is a unique telling of the enduring tale of Dracula. At times it reads more like an historical travel guide, but then just as you are about to nod off, the vampire jumps out at you. The story encompasses several generations over a span of many years. The best history professors in the world are being lured within Dracula's grasp. There is an ultimate scheme........isn't there always! This one may surprise you, since it takes an unusual turn. Not the typical vampire story!
