The Historian-Book review

The Historian
Review
One Day i woke up and i found this book on my room desk(does that sound creepy??). haha..i picked it up and read it through. damn. i said to my sister that this could be the hardest book to read =D

First i thought it was a fantasy-like. but then i realize it's not so very fantasy. =D Those who fansy history type of nerd you'd probly like this book alot. it's rich of History of part of the european country. including hungary, romania, istanbul and etc..

Once the author Elizabeth Kostova made the character reach a certain country, there would be history. and the history elizabeth Kostova mention will be 2-3 pages long.

Personal View
To be honest i didn't like this book so much. It's so thick, not that i can't read a thick pages of book, i think that the author focus too much on the character's reaction. And also, explain too much on how the places look like. Just explaining a certain coffee shop could take few pages.

i'm not a fan of the past. yet i would be interested to know a bit if i get to. The book explain too much. it's like back to secondary high school, where we have to memorize all the history, all the past.

i could have put this book away or put it back on the shelf. but i didn't. i'm surprise myself that i finished the whole book =D.

When i reach the middle pages of the book, where there's more mysterious about Vlad Dracula and the kingdom, i even go online to check out the picture of vlad dracula, surf wikipedia for the simpler explaination of vlad's mother, father and the prince's power. besides, i checked youtube for any vlad dracula's movie and i found one called Dark Prince: True story of dracula and watched the whole thing=)

after i've understand most of dracula's life, i continue the story from the book. i'm glad that i picked up the book and read at the first place. even it didn't impress me much, i like the way the author make vlad dracula a mystery, made vlad dracula a vampire.

sometimes i got so into a character of the story , the phone rang would scare the shit out of me.=D and i often dream of vampires when i sleep haha..thats foolish.

Alright, that's it. coming post of book review is The Road. it's shot as a movie. i've just started reading it. will check out the movie soon.

Cheers,
