Title: How did this achieve classic status?
Review: I'm an avid reader and vampire fan. Over the past couple years I've started a collection of vampire books which totals over 100 now and I figured what vampire collection would be complete without Dracula, the one that started it all? I started reading this book almost 3 weeks ago...and I'm just now halfway through. I don't like to give up on a book, but I just don't think I can waste another 2 or 3 weeks on this. In the first 200 pages there have literally been less than a handful of short-lived moments that were actually interesting. Other than that it feels like NOTHING is happening. There's no STORY here.I can't help but wonder what are the standards when it comes to classic books...Is it simply being old? Groundbreaking? Longevity? I guess Dracula has all that going for it...it's certainly old, was the first of it's kind and people are still reading it more than 100 year after the fact. However, that does not a good book make, in my humble opinion.
Is the review positive or negative?
