Reseñas

Not bad


(3 stars)

I guess I am not a Bram Stoker fan. The story doesn't really draw me in, I found myself listening just to hear how it ended. Some of the recordings are a bit rough; you can improve them with the equalizer. The quality noticeably improves the closer to the end of the book, so if you are a Stoker fan, go for it. I just felt the story itself was somewhat of a disappointment.

Wasted potential...


(2.5 stars)

The story has some potential but it is wasted because Stoker gave his plot a rather slow pace and dwells in stereotypical descriptions of the English countryside, Africans etc.

nice read


(5 stars)

would encourage reader to do more. Such as Victor Hugo, Churchill, Pope.
