Dracula

I have just finished the book Dracula by Bram Stoker. It was a great book and I really enjoyed it top to bottom. I would reccommend this book to anyone who likes a good adventure. It is very action packed and exciting. It does go through phasess where it gets kind of boring when Stoker has to explain a lot of the little details about Dracula. Other than that it was a great book. I would describe this book as being kind of dense in some parts and a kind of slow read. I n the middle there were several parts where i just couoldn't stay focused and i would have to put the book down for awhile and then come back to it. this is probably why I took so long to read it. Even though it was a slow read i still loved this book and wouldn't mind a bit if I could read it again right now. The vocabulary was challenging in some places and i would have to go and look up the defintitions while i was reading so that i would understand what was happening. i am a little disappointed in the ending of the book because it seemed that it just came to a quoick end after it had been leading up to that moment the entire book. i was really looking forward to the ending to see what would happen and who would win, and then all of a sudden it was over. it was kind of like he just ran out of time and had to come up with a quick ending. i wish he had gone into more detail about it and described it like he described all of the other things the main characters did.
