A review by lostinfrance
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

3.0

Too long, too heavy....too many layers. Your reading a story of a girl who is reading the letters of her father that is reading letters of his professor...and then you get off the bus and wonder who is telling which part of the story. Yes, you can follow along, but it doesn't need to be that complicated....and really after 500 years.....the girl is going to possibly find Dracula? Sigh.

I did enjoy learning about Vlad the Impaler (sounds like a WWF wrestler)....and it was nice to travel Eastern Europe. The book was too long---and could have easily lost 200 pages.
