Just finished reading pic related. I thought it was awesome and had a fantastic ending, what did /lit/ think?

First 200 pages or so makes for exciting and awesome horror fiction. The rest of the book is pretty bland.

One of the first books I read in English so I have fond memories of it, though I think what >>8148201 said is mostly true. The part on the boat was pretty good horror, too. Don't remember the exact part of the book it's taking place in.

Lol, it's not even 200, more like only 50 pages of goodness and then 300 pages of mostly blandness

This

I kept reading hoping it would get back to Jonathan's terror trip, but it was mostly a "fuck we gotta find DIRT BOXES"

Same as you. It was a good way to pass a morning.

It was a nice reading
The begging of the book was superb, the ending was bretty gud
But the middle of the story it's just...boring

Nice choice anon, i loved Dracula when i first read it

i loved it. i like the description at the end when the sun comes up and he takes the kukri and slashes his neck simulatenously as the stake is driven through his heart. that was a cinematic scene
