Epistolary Novels? Sometimes I find the author forgets they're writing it in the form of journal entries/letters due to the extravagent detail. IMO, this kinda takes away from it and the style just kind of seems like it's there for nevelty. Besides not giving the monster a voice, (Which can be done in other ways.) It's kind of useless, isn't it? Your thoughts?

Ie.) -Dracula,
-Jekyll &Hyde(Is this worth reading?)
-Frankenstein

I think it makes sense that Dracula, Frankenstein and Jekill & Hyde are writen like that, all the characters are very well educated, damn, almost half of them are doctors in their fields and are required to write detailed descriptions for a living, Mina is an etiquette teacher and Jonathan a british lawyer that pays as much attention to details as the british stereotype requires, he even complains about the trains being late.

I liked it, I just didn't see any major value in it being told in the format it was.
