Dracula- Bram Stoker

The book I thought was good over all, but the ending was a little disappointing. The climax wasn't at one definite point. Reading the beginning it seems like the book is going to be filled with action and surprises one right after another. But the beginning is fast and then the book slows down a lot. I think the fact that the whole book is different people's diaries takes away some of the shock and surprise because the characters are writing about it themselves so you can predict how some things are going to turn out. However, having the story told in first person, and from many different people makes it exiting. It's kind of like a murder mystery and you have to figure out how the different stories fit together. But this also makes the story full of dramatic irony. I was just expecting more of an 'awe' factor at the end. I was satisfied with the book until the end.
