Dracula
I am currently reading Dracula, by Bram Stoker. I am really enjoying this book. I really like how Stoker writes it in the perspective of the characters. He does this by making all of it journal entries or letters to the other characters. this is really interesting because its easier for me to undersstand how they feel. It also gives you a feel for their personalities which is pretty cool. Sometimes it can get a little bit confusing because their are several peoples journal entries in a row and the setting skips around with the person who is writing. Another thing that can get kind of confusing, is the way he writes. Since Stoker is english he spells words differently and he wrote the book 100 years ago so the oder of the words is different. Another problem with the story being over 100 years old is, that some words had different meanings then they do now. An example of this is the word without. He uses it like the word outside. He will say something like; the wolves were without. Now we would say; the wolves are outside. The word without means that you are mising something, or without it, but not in this story. Ireally like the story line of the book. I like how it starts off in Dracula Castle and moves to London where there is plenty of food for Dracula. This is a great book and i just can't take my eyes off of it. I really love this book and I can't wait to get back to reading it.
