A long read with a very slow first quarter, but it's worth persevering as the pace picks up and turns into a very enjoyable and satisfying read.

The book was in today's mail, together with a beautiful postcard from Maidstone. Thanks a lot yorkshire-lass.
I'm reading another book for the time being, but will be through with that in a couple of days, and then I will start right away on "The Historian".

Journal Entry 5 by Falmouth from Remscheid, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Sunday, September 21, 2008
That was a slow read and after all I can’t understand the hype surrounding it.
The story was tediously boring and ridiculous. I was dragging myself from page to page until I finally decided that I wouldn’t force myself to finishing it, so here it goes with just one star.
Maybe the next reader will enjoy it more than I did. Thanks for putting me into the ray anyway.

I'm looking forward to this book a lot and hope I will like it more than the previous reader :O)
a longer journal entry will follow, just to say I really liked this book and sent it on its way to bookworm76 today
And here's the long awaited promised journal entry :O)
I am a bit sceptical about "Dracula sequels", most of them turn out to be too trashy for my taste- this was one very nice exception. The story itself seems believable and not too far-fetched, and there is plenty of suspense and great developments.
What I especially liked was the aspect of depicting east Europe in the Cold war era, sometimes this has fascinated me more than the actual hunt.
All in all, a very well-rounded story, and I'm glad I got a chance to read it thanks to this ring.

I really struggled with the start of this but it did get better.

The type of story in this book does remind me of the authors like Dan Brown or Raymond Khoury but I would say it’s much better. The beginning may be slow but the more you’re read it, the more it gets gripping and you want to know how it will end. It was definitely a gripping read and it made me want to read again Dracula by Bram Stoker!
I have pm'ed Arwen-Galadriel and turnpages; both have already read it or found a copy of the book. So, I'm making this book available either for another ray, a trade or a RABCK - don't know yet which one it will be!

Journal Entry 15 by LastMango at Lindsay Library book sale in Lindsay, Ontario Canada on Sunday, August 5, 2012
Released 11 yrs ago (8/5/2012 UTC) at Lindsay Library book sale in Lindsay, Ontario Canada
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Need to make some space on my bookshelf so am donating this to the library book sale.
Difficult time getting into the first few chapters, but became more compelling as I got into the book. Towards the end could not put it down.
Just found on my bookshelf. Likely had it for a few years - think it came from my Dad in Oshawa. Will donate forward......
