    This is the original classic story of the famous vampire, Count Dracula.

    I don't always like 19th century fiction, so I was pleasantly surprised that I did like this one, though it was longer than I thought. It is told primarily in the format of diary entries and letters. I did prefer the beginning of the story to the rest of it, as I found this part of the story, set in Dracula's castle in Transylvania, really intrigued me and it was the only part of the story that I found a little bit creepy. It was still, overall, pretty good, though. The ending was a bit anti-climactic, but I liked the short "eiplogue" provided.

    A Classic

    Although I did not enjoy this as much of some of the other vampire tales I have read. I am glad that I finally finished this classic. I took me over a decade to finally finish the book that has inspired so many artists not just authors.

    I found the Victorian diction and grammar, a major stumbling block for me for the first few chapter, but once I got over it I did enjoy it quite a bit. I also appreciate the fact that Stoker stays faithful to the historical fact attributed to Vlad Tepes or Vlad the Impaler.

    This was a book far ahead of it's time and I can see how it has inspired so many other authors, film makers and artists, since it's original publication

    Yah, it think it is written from so many perspectives, that and the Victorian Grammar. I highly recommend reading the The Book of Renfield: The Gospel of Dracula, basically tells the same story, in the same format, but only from two perspectives and very beautifully written.

    I read this one soooo long ago and I still remember it was hard to follow.

    Ugh

    You know that scratchy eyed, dough headed, morning thickness that comes with a low-grade hangover? The hangover that doesn't end up with puking, but makes it difficult to crawl out of bed to grab that bottle of Advil that'll help you start your day? That's how I feel after rereading Dracula.

    I read this book one other time -- 31 years ago when I was eight -- and I loved it. It made me mad for all things supernatural or occult. I thrilled over everything from spontaneous human combustion and devil's punch bowls to ghost sightings and werewolves. I tracked down every old movie containing anything scary: Frankenstein Monsters, Creatures from the Black Lagoon, Atomic Ants, Zombies, Mummies, anything with Bela Legosi or Boris Karloff or Christopher Lee or Claude Rains, anything that could give me the creeps.

    I esteemed Dracula above all others as the greatest of horror novels, but I never revisited Dracula. There were too many other books to read (particularly Vampire books), and if I needed to satisfy my craving for the Count it was always much easier to throw in a film adaptation of Stoker's Vampyre than to commit to reading. So my old copy of Dracula just moved from house to house and shelf to shelf, and though I always intended to read it again, I never got around to it until now. What the hell was I thinking? I wasn't, apparently.

    Three decades of untainted youthful love built Dracula into a work of art that it never was and couldn't be. I was prepared for that, though. I picked it up with a willingness to cut Stoker massive amounts of slack for my own distorted memories and to just enjoy the fun of something that gave birth to one of my earliest obsessions. I am a fool.

    I didn't get any enjoyment out of rereading Dracula. It has been diminished for me. Probably forever. Stoker was a sexist pig, and it can't simply be chalked up to his place in time. Henry James was writing back then; Oscar Wilde was writing back then, and while the two of them may not be what we would consider feminist, they are certainly not steeped in the painfully chauvinistic Victorianism of Stoker; couple that with Stoker's odd mix of pseudo-science and religiosity, and Dracula is difficult to endure. But that's not the worst of it.

    You know those annoying sit-coms where the situation, week after week, is based on a misunderstanding? You know those weepy television dramas where the conflict is based on a lack of communication? I know you do. We all know them, and while we may remember giggling at Jack Tripper's antics or snuffling over the Salinger family's tragic woes, when we sit down to watch them now they just don't do it for us. We want to shake the characters and scream at them to just talk to one another. We want to smack the protagonist who says, "Trust me," instead of using ten words to explain what needs to be done. And this is what [book:Dracula] is from beginning to end. It is a string of misunderstandings, miscommunications and a crazy old Dutchman telling everyone to trust him rather than explaining what's going on.

    I want to burn this book. But it's old and worn, and I imagine my kids will get some joy from it in the years to come. I wish I'd never read this again. I would rather have loved this blindly until the day I died rather than know that it sucks and has always sucked. I need some Bela Legosi to sandpaper my memories of this novel. Going to rent it now.

    i was writing a book report on bram stokers dracula for an independant study unit in my grade 9 english class. i was overwhelemed by how long the book was, so i went to chapters and i got the novel and it was less than 100 pages! it had really good information and is just as good as the longer novel. all i have to say is that i recommend this novel for any report as well as for your enjoyment it is a classic because it is such a great book. i am a grade 9 student and i can say that this is a book for all ages young and old. But dont take my word on it, read the book for your self you wont be dissapointed!!!
