Classic story...but very, very boring! Very little action. Mostly talk, thinking, and praying to the Almighty for mercy. Interesting start at the Dracula castle, then a very boring middle with hundreds of diary entries, which is very dry reading. There is a face-to-face Dracula encounter/battle at 70%, but it is only 5 pages! Then back to the dull "our plans to get him" diary entries. Took me forever to finish this book due to my lack of interest.

This book is pretty cool,I liked it a lot it kind of hangs you to the edge of you'r seat.It has a mix of tension a bit scariness to it. Dracula's face looks pretty ugly and a bit scary if he's chasing you.No offense Dracula.I do recommend this book to people that like horror.

The book was great! Interesting telling style. As if the reader came across the manuscripts which they had been compiling throughout the story. Very well done story.

I loved this modern day spin on a classic, and just in time for Halloween!
I would use this in my classroom as a fun holiday traditional lit read aloud.

I can back in the day it was written it being very popular. It had some good points. The best was the beginning. Some parts it was too lecturing. But not bad overall.

To Gain Immortality; to Live in Fright of Eternity
Dracula has, for centuries, been a notorious character found within many myths and folklore; his story is known by people across the world, and will continue to play a common role in our acknowledgement of horror and mystery. Dracula by Bram Stoker reveals the value of companionship, and sets before us what value intuition and courage hold in our lives. The novel demonstrates the transient nature of relationships, and displays the worth of love and devotion.
The document was the invitation; the deed which cast Mr. Jonathan Harker on his way, toward the rising barriers which enclosed the oddity never before exposed to the world of 1800s England. Harker was to provide his patron with this single set of manuscripts, unmindful of the menace veiled by the gloom of dusk.
The plot often veers from anticipated affairs, as Harker’s dearest friends find death in vain, and as the pursuit of the beast leads his companions toward delusion. Their souls seek to be freed, as their captor mocks them in the deception of their only hope of escape: Jonathan Harker.
The characters and their love become tangled within and throughout friendships, as devotion persists in the termination of the varmint who is resolute in devastating their hearts. This novel is comprised of topics such as courage and endurance, and exhibits the strength of determination and passion for redemption.
Dracula may be a trying read for those unaccustomed to the intricacy of such mature English, but is certainly a story that will be valued at its closing. It tells of the covert hidings within the barriers of
Castle Dracula. It depicts vividly questioning mystery, as well as sudden and unanticipated jolts of shock and fright, as the characters become immersed within the all-pervading pursuit of the Count. This is surely one of my favorite novels, considering its age and significance within our modern culture. This novel was written in 1897, and presents conflicts involving important subjects such as heroism, relationships, and necessary risks.
Jonathan Harker, the focal character, his wife, Mina, and many others endure painful losses and forthright trickery. These include Lucy Westenra, a close friend of Mina’s, Arthur Holmwood, Lucy’s fiancé, professor Dr. Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, Van Helsing’s pupil, and Quincy Morris, a close friend of the group. May we not neglect to include the prevailing character of the story, Count Dracula himself.
Transylvania occupies the Count’s castle residence, as Harker and his companions travel from London, to ultimately find themselves in Whitby, where in time the the Count becomes bound. The setting of the novel shifts in locale throughout the passing of time; the tale moves with the characters as they travel throughout the region in Dracula’s trail.
I would undeniably recommend this enthralling book to any classmate or curious reader, as Castle Dracula anticipates your arrival.

1) What dates did you read the novel?
September 12th - October 26th
2) What is the theme of the novel?
I think one of the main themes of this novel is that of good vs. bad. The person in which she thought loved her more than anybody was also the same person that stabbed her in the heart, which is a great example of how this theme was represented.
3) Give me a significant quote and why it is significant.
"We learn from failure, not from success!"
This quote is commonly used in real life. When people are successful, they get rewards handed to them. But when they make a mistake, they are able to learn from it and improve what it is they are trying to do.
4) Would you recommend this to others? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Victorian Era, vampires, and romance/lust.

it's a classic of course but, strange enough, I have read thousands of horror books but this one never fell into my hands before.
I did not really enjoy the fact that it was written as an assembly of different diaries since I found it hard to dive into the story but after a while, I got used to it.
The story in itself is quite different from all the Dracula's movies (except the Coppola's)but it is kinda nice.Old horror stories seen from a different point of view than our contemporary writers are always interesting to read.This one has not got a lot of wrinkles.Still very efficient.
I may, in the future, try to find other Stoker's books even if I'm not sure he did write other horror stories.

The story line was plain and simple which, however, is in compliment of the time it was written. Yet, it seemed quite flat to me. The climaxes were not as high as it could have been. Nevertheless, a great creation by Bram Stoker and has a lot of potentiality (hence the very many different versions of the story that is morphed into movies and plays). It felt like it was a great story but it lost it's potential as it was written...Movie versions were better, according to me.

This was such a great read! I don't know why I never read it before… But it was wonderful and it kept my imagination the entire time. Of course there are some parts that are relatively predictable, however this does not ruin the story. The characters are lovable and the old manner in which it is written is heartening.

2.5 stars. Wow what a disappointment. It started out really good but after that it was so long and DRAWN OUT. I skimmed the last 30% of the book because I just couldn't take anymore and just wanted to know how it ended.

Un libro con una estructura sabrosa de leer y que siempre te deja deseando saber un poco mas. El dialogo entre los protagonistas te traslada a la época.
Sin lugar a dudas un clásico. Sin embargo, el final pudo ser un poco mejor detallado y brindando mas adrenalina.

I read this book so as to find the foundation stone for all vampire novels that I so lovingly read. The book is OK but predictable and of course I didn't like my Vampires being shown as monsters.

This has always been a favorite, and I've been returning to this story time and time again since I was twelve.
