I'm too lazy to write a really compelling disavowal of Dracul. I wanted to compare Dracula with Dracul. Dracula is masterful while Dracul is bloated - and not with blood.
Dracul is not a worthy prequel. If one compares text from both books, Dracula is incisive, unrepetitive, purposeful, efficient, and successful.
I know that Dracul will survive the test of time, and that galls me. But it should not. The masterpiece that is Dracula remains unsullied. I can enjoy the latter in all of its purity. Amen.

Thank you, I guess, preoccupiedbybooks...I like my reading experience. Right now I'm doing a couple of rereads that I'm yet to register here.
Yes it is.
Sorry this was such a miss for you!
It was bound to be. Two persons writing a book out of the blue was not a good sign.
Thanks for calling me hun. And for the like :)
Even people who tried to give it the benefit of the doubt are feeling disappointed.
Happy to oblige.
Thank you.
Yes, Crawdads too is unreadable. I believe you did like that review of mine. There are so many dishonest reviewers on this site. Glad that you didn't buy into the hype.
I hear you, Kenny. There have been plenty of books that I've avoided that would have come from glowing reviews of friends on Goodreads. This book's recommendation, was one of them.
Thank you! We are in the minority here, but I on my part, don't care about being so. I only rue the time I wasted on this, and also hope you don't get betrayed by the hype for future books of yours.
Thank you, and good call. I imagine there exist people that don't like Dracula, but love Dracul. It's weird from my POV, but that's the characteristic of books.
Thanks!
