Dracula

I am currently reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. I am almost done with the book and the chase is really heating up. The five main characters are getting ready to follow Dracula back to his mansion in Transylvania. For the most part this book is extremely exciting and interesting, but there have been parts lately that have been kind of boring and long winded. Contrary to my last blog about how Stoker doesn't include unnecessary information, he has begun to include extra information. He is trying to explain all of the smaller details about Dracula and vampires and i feel that he has included a lot of unneccessary information. it has really slowed down how fast i have been reading it because I will lose interest in the reading. Even though the going has been slow it is a great book. I really like the storyline of the book and all of the details. I like how Dracula has been trying to plan his invasion of England and then the world by using his boxes od dirt and putting them in strategic places. One part of the story that has been very confusing is the boxes of dirt because Stoker never really explains them or what they are until just now in the book, which is pretty close to the end. It turns out they were just boxes of sacred dirt that he could sleep in, but the way he described them at the beginning was that the boxes held other vampires that he had infected.
