I'm glad that I listened to it since it's a classic and it inspired so many other works. However, it is fairly dated in pacing and structure. I enjoyed it but felt perhaps some of the longer speeches (many of Van Helsing's) could have been cut out without any loss of clarity. Also, the ending felt a...
I recently saw the first episode of the BBC series Sherlock, a modern interpretation of Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

That is one problem with audiobooks, you can't skim easily. Anyway, I have struggled to finish this book and eventual...
I have this as a bit of an experiment, having just discovered I can "borrow" downloadable media online from the library. I thought I'd start with something short, and that i wouldn't be distraught to lose the end of if it vanished before I could finish it. So far, so droll.
