Vlad the Impaler: The Real Count Dracula (A Wicked History)

My kid loved Night At the Museum and Dracula so he loved this book.

A good short (125 pages) book on the life of Vlad the Impaler. This is good for Grades 8 and up...its short and to the point with lots of illustrations. I'm a slow reader and I got through it all in one night.

Good

An easy read with many pictures and accepted facts (a few of which are questionable). Gives the basic life story of Vlad Dracula with several German sources quoted (several of which were admittedly documented many years after the fact). If studying Dracula this book alone should not be used as a single source to "uncover" the truth, but over all a quick and good read.

For a basic book about Vlad, it's alright. Unfortunately, there were many aspects of his life that aren't able to be summed up in such a short book. Granted, it's for middle school aged children, so it doesn't go into great detail. There was more to the man than just his cruelty. A good start for further research and reading about an interesting man and his times.

This is a must have for any fans of Vlad Tepes. It is a good detailed history of the Impaler and gives accounts of his life and his battle with the turks.

It gives you information about a part of history you never really learn about outside of mythical folklore.

love stories of acient warriors and just history in general plan to purchase the rest of the books for sheer enjoyment of reading

The real,deal! The story behind the legend,infamous or, not? Your,decision.

This is another book about Prince Vlad Draculea, I think about: published only to make money with old Stories and Lies.I hoped for new discoveries about this very interesting person, who was not like always and always told, only a brutal person which loved to impale people by fun.Save your money, if you are interested in history and not fiction

The book was very good, and even added some fresh family details not found elsewhere before now!
