Dracula – book review

by moonlight lady 12. September 2017 The Reading Corner 3

Before anyone gets surprised I want to make it clear that I already knew the story and that it isn’t the first time I read this book. I read Dracula for the first time about 8 years ago, and I read it in Spanish. As you can imagine 8 years is a long time and after seeing several films my memory of the book was a bit blurred, all that not to mention that I wanted to read it in its original language.

The Phantom of the Opera
