Title: Very overrated. Doesn't live up to the hype.
Review: We're supposed to be impressed by the fact that the author spent many years researching this book. Well, that would have been impressive if this was a non fiction history book and not a novel. As it is, The Historian is one long and boring tirade of historical data that serves no purpose other than to bog down the bare bones plot and make this book twice as long as it should have been, a real editor was sorely needed.The story, regarding Dracula alive in the modern age seems to be an exciting premise, but believe me, it's been done before in many other novels and much better I might add. In fact Dracula himself makes only a brief appearance very late in the book.How this novel has become a best seller is beyond me. Perhaps it's because it's being compared to The DaVinci Code, but The Historian is nowhere near as fast paced or exciting as that book.
