Has anyone read "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova
It seems to be a popular title and the story intigues me- I have it on my TBR list- wondering if it's worth pushing it further up the rung..


I'd very much like to read "The Historian" ... better get myself on the libr. hold list.
this one is on my tbr list too - i better get myself on my library's waiting list too!

I read it and posted a review over on the Fiction Lovers board. I was really looking forward to the book because the premise sounded so wonderful, but for me it just didn't deliver. I love, love, love Dracula stories, but Kostova didn't come up with anything very compelling.

This book had such a great premise and I got it immediately after it came out. Oh, was I disappointed in it. It started out great, but then about 1/2 way through, she started to go on and on and on about monk migration patterns in the 1400's ad nauseum. I ended up skimming the last 100 pages just to see how it ended, although at that point I didn't really care too much. When I returned it to the library, I was so frustrated that I had spent so much time and energy reading this when I could have read something else. Ugh!
