We all know who Dracula is so I won't bore you with the details of a man who lives in a castle and bites the necks of humans to add anothe vampire to his army etc etc.
As a review I'll have to say I was a little disappointed with this book. Sure, it was good with some lively and exciting scenes but it wasn't as I'd expected it to be. I kept expecting there to be lively and violent scenes so this was the main disappointment. This isn't to say I dislike the book.
There were a lot of points in which the book drawled on and I just felt like skipping them and getting to the livey points. However, I didn't do so and managed to read every page, including Mina's lengthy letters and diary entries about how the light reflected beautifully off the water.
I think I'll give it a year and re-read the book. Maybe I'll find it better with more reads. If you can handle Van Helsing's trouble with English and general classic literature I would recommend that you pick this book up, however, don't read it if you wish to read an all-swords, all-guns blazing battle between the living and the dead.
Overall rating: 2.5/5 (Sorry Bram)
