The Facts about Vlad The Impaler submitted by john_tincher on February 3, 2007, 9:42am To start, this is not your standard Dracula book. The author spent 10 years conducting historical research on the subject. I found the historical references helpful and provided a great backdrop to the story. Unfortunately, the narrative did get bogged down at times with too much detail. If you want a great story to listen to, filled with interesting facts on the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire, this story is for you. If you want something fast-paced, I suggest looking for another book.

This was a wonderful book, that I would say should be viewed by children 13 or above for some "romantic and some violent" scenes. It was quite appealing,a book I could never put down.
It told a story in many different parts, surprising you as you went along, horrifying you with murder, drawing you with romance. A wonderful book with both scinece fiction and history.
