I read this novel for an English Lit class in College. It's a great classic story that explains the mystery behind Dracula himself... sort of. Every story you read or see on screen portrays the Dracula myth differently but nonetheless its always a good one!
I first read this in 8th grade - and was completely hooked. It started my obsession with vampires. I've read it at least twice since then. I'm not sure I can quite explain it, but it's just sort of a sentimental favorite for me... though I rather wonder what that says about me, LOL.
Great book. I enjoyed this more than Frankenstein. On a completely crazy sidenote, The same night i finished this book, i ended killing a bat that had gotten into my upstairs neighbors apartment. Who needs a wooden stake? One quick overhand smash with a tennis racket seemed to do the trick.
The biggest problem with this book now is that the legend has now preceded the story for every reader, removing the suspense and twists from the book. It is still a great novel, but one of the ultimate spoiled twists in literature.
