I have read many books over the years. There are a handful of books that I can say that I experienced, not read. Bram Stoker's Dracula is such a book. Written in the form of numerous letters and journal entries, the author skillfully keeps the reader in a state of suspense and curiosity as we see a team of people hunt down The Vampire. Even though Dracula was written in 1897, the writing style is fresh and engaging. One can see some of the influences of Stoker's time: Victorian morals, the mysterious deaths connected to Jack the Ripper, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries, Freudian psychology, and technology (the camera, the typewriter, and the phonograph). What I found interesting is the fact that the title character is present in only the first sixty or so pages of a book of about four hundred pages; after the first sixty pages, Dracula lurks in the background but still plays a major part in the story. The subject of this review is the Barnes and Noble Classics edition; this version contains commentary and historical notes and enhances the reading experience. If you have this book on your shelf do not hesitate to start reading it; if it is not on your shelf, make it a goal to purchase it soon and read it. You will not be disappointed.

Classic.
Loved it. No wonder it's a classic. Better than the movie. They left sooooooo much of the story out of the book.

Intense, meaningful, and a classic!
Before reading this book, I was worried about what I've heard: It's boring, dull, lengthy... However, this book captured my imagination. I love the way it is structured and written. It is mysterious, exciting, and an awesome read. I loved it. =)

It just plain sucked
I've always been fascinated with vampires ever since seeing Bella Lugosi in 1931's film version of "Dracula". And after reading a few vampire novels I've been disappointed with how cheesey and over the top they have been. But nothing prepared me for the biggest let down of them all which was the mother of all vampire novels "Dracula". I found the pace slow and the story disjointed due to the fact it was pieced together from diary entries and the odd newspaper clipping. This made the flow of the story difficult for me to enjoy. Oddly enough we don't really to get meet the namesake of the book! He's just that creepy business man in the begining that Joanthan Harker deals who then turns into more of a menacing shadow to be hunted down to be killed at the end.
