The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Hello fellow book lovers,
I spent all day yesterday reading this book, which I got for a gift. It's almost 700 pages long, but I couldn't put it down. I have to recommend it! It's about Dracula, but it's not cheesy or silly. It's fascinating. It's so good that for a moment I forgot it was fiction. It is a good book for anyone who likes stories about quests, Dracula, and books. I wouldn't call it horror though. I know it's a book I'll be reading many times. It also has a lot of suspense and adventure & takes place in interesting settings all over the world. After I finished it, I did some research, and it was apparently a NY Times best seller, been published in 40 languages, and a movie of the book will come out in 2010. Has anyone read this book? If so, what did you think? |
Yikes, no replies yet! Well, if anyone reads it, let me know. I'd love to talk about it. :)

I've not read it, so I didn't reply. lol
Now I am replying... It sounds very interesting and I shall read it when I can. thanks for the recommendation. |
I tried to download a sample from Amazon to see if I wanted to purchase it (I love my Kindle, only one hand works so I can't hold books or turn pages, but now I can read again!!!) I'll try again tomorrow

I read this a while ago, and i loved it.. it is def. a "keeper" book. It was wonderfully written, and it really did just sweep you up and keep you hooked till the end. :)

Yay, Macophile, I'm so glad you liked it. My copy has been passed to four people already! It's long, but like you said, it's a page turner. I've always wanted a really cool study, and this book has inspired me.
