I did not enjoy this as I thought I would. **spoilers** The journal entries were a good format, yet I finished the book not knowing why the characters wanted to kill Dracula, how Mina did not become a vampire, and why lucy was going only after the children. However, I couldn't help but wonder, did she who shall not be named get the idea of Harry Potter scar from Mina's scar?
This is a very good book. The diary/journal/telegram entry format took some time to get used to however. Otherwise, it tells like an adventure with intrigue and romance. With some really gross moments. Really....really gross.
