Book Review of The Historian

The Historian
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I am not big into vampire lore, but this book deals more with the history and the search for the man Vlad Dracula than the window dressing of vampire novels. Fantastic historical details. I often felt like I should be taking notes while reading it. The writing style flows very well. 650+ pages and I read it in one day. I couldn't put it down. Strongly recommended for people who love history and the historical research process. To compare it to 'The Da Vinci Code' does it a disservice. This book is full of rare and specific details that you can't find on The History Channel.
