Helpful Score: 1

This book is by far one of my favorites of all time. Elizabeth Kostova has an unique talent for switching "voices" seamlessly through the book, which serves to keep the story fresh and interesting. In addition, I also enjoyed the way she intertwines true elements of history with her fictional characters. Kostova's descriptions of the buildings and cities in Eastern Europe are also amazing. As the leading characters moved through different countries, the description provided by Kostova really allows the reader to feel as though he or she is journeying through these countries along with the characters. The storyline regarding Dracula's immortality is also intriguing.
