Genuinely spooky. Jonathan Harker is a bit of a dim-wit, and while I liked Mina, and Lucy to a lesser extent, the treatment they receive from most of the men in the story is downright hilarious at times. Doctor Van Helsing is cool ... almost too cool to be thoroughly enjoyable at times, but eh.The s...
What can I really say about this book? It is about the REAL vampires, before they became sex symbols they were haunting. The beginning of the book with Jonothan in Castle Dracula was absolutely flawless, so exciting.After this it kind of dragged on but it was written so well and I just wanted to kno...
Now this is what a vampire book should BE like! Please, if you have ANY self-respect, read this book. It's absolutely fantastic!Writing - 4 out of 5Wonderfully written. The writing isn't actually that difficult to get through. It's not a read that goes at breakneck speeds, but it's still fast and re...
I truly have a "love/hate" relationship with this book. It took me months to make it through the first half, or more, because it was not holding my attention.

The book must have thrilled when it was published, but now, of course, it has become outdated. It is well written though. The whole story is narrated by way of letters, diary entries, newspaper clipping etc. It's an interesting technique, but I think it interfered with the thrill element of the stor...
At the very heart this is a scary love story with many themes: forbidden love, colonialism, and heaven and hell. There is also a "knowledge is power" lesson mixed in. I enjoyed the story very much. Reading a book through journals, adds a bit of truth, to an otherwise far fetched story. I can see...
This was an excellent book. It was a horror story, that had a tragic yet happy ending. From the death of two brave characters, the portrayal of a force of evil and the love story it is an engrossing tale of dedication and friendship.
