Michael Egan’s Reviews > Dracula > Status Update

I am really enjoying the book, but my God I cannot STAND the long-winded rants by the Dutchman who speaks broken English. Maybe this was easier for readers of the time, but it is really frustrating having much of the exposition and plot channeled through a character that doesn't use correct English grammar. Sometimes I barely understand what Dr. Van Helsing is saying.

Even though I already know all of the tropes of Dracula, this is still really fun to read. Some of the mystery of what is happening is already known to me but I still catch myself anticipating what's going to happen next.
