I’ve always been a huge fan of the vampire genre and I’ve wanted to read this classic for a long time. Perhaps it was high expectations or simply that I’ve read so many derivatives of this story, but I found Dracula to be a slog to get through! There were a few interesting moments here and there, and it was definitely interesting to see how the real characters compared to pop culture portrayals such as Van Helsing and Reinfield, but that’s about it.
