Search - The Historian

Absolutely wonderful book! I honestly could not put it down and missed sleep reading this book. Yes, the writing style is a little different than what you're used to but I think that may help with the overall mood of the book. If you like history, following clues and a touch of horrific tension you'll adore this book.

I really wanted to like this book. I got about halfway through it and could not finish. I loved the scenery descriptions and the writing, but the middle bogged down for me, and I could not finish it - as much as I wanted to. I have so many other books I could not wait to start, and once I did, I could not pick it back up.

Interesting take on the Dracula history. A little long though - I didn't finish it. Writer needed to get to the point quicker than she did.

Some spots were a little slow, but overall I enjoyed this book. Great attention to detail.

I loved this book. I loved that it incorporated just a little bit of History with an exciting twist on the story of Dracula.

I am an avid reader, who sometimes reads up to 3 books a week, and I had to work on this book for over 3 months! Its crammed full of details and facts. I did enjoy this book though, despite the difficult read. The summary of the book makes you think that the book is about a mans daughter who discovers some of her father's letters after he has vanished, but in fact, the book says very little about the daughter and focuses mainly on the letters apparently read by the daughter. At times, I found myself confused or lost in the details. I would not recommend this book to any of my friends who were looking for a fast and easy read. But I would recommend it to those who enjoy a slow and complex read. Definitely not a book for the faint of heart!
