Dracula
I have never read the book of Dracula or seen the movie. This week while reading the book of Dracula I am finding it not as good as I thought it would be. A lot of people talk about it like it is the best, but I am not seeing it. I think what made it so big is that it was the first vampire story that was easy to understand and had the sexual desires and other aspects that young adults like. I must say that going over the book in class discussion is helping me out, because while reading the book in the journal and diary way it is written I miss some stuff. Maybe that is one of the reasons I am not liking the book as much as I thought I would, the way a book is written is very important and I am not liking the journals and the diaries.

Do you think another reason why you are not enjoying the book, is because it didn't meet your expectation?
ReplyDeleteFor books that are as famous as Dracula, people tend to set very high expectations and then become disappointed when the book doesn't meet them.I have done this to many times.
I completely agree with you. In the beginning, I was really excited to read Dracula. However, now that I have read most of it, I wonder where all the excitement is. Rehudson makes a good point about it not meeting expectations. Personally, that's probably why I have not been enjoying it as much as I thought I would.
