I love this book! This is one of the first of horror stories I've read when was a teenager) I have nice memories of that evenings with book and I was completely immersed in the journey from Transylvania to England. Reading the novel from diaries and letters it seemed this is a real story.

I have not read the book but have watched the series. I found it scary and interesting too. The main trait of consumption of blood ticked me off a little.

I did not read the book but I watched a movie adaptation or it, I found it interesting with all the action and gore. It definitely clicked with me as I understood what he did in order to save his country.

I think that some of the movie adaptions are closer to the book than others.

Which movie version did you watch ?

While influenced by the Bram Stokers novel, I think that film creates a new origin for Dracula.

It's probably one of my least favorite classics actually. I find it too slow and difficult to get through it.

I find that a problem with many Victorian novels.

Me too, yet each time I pick one up I expect to enjoy because it's a classic and then I don't, I preferred Frankenstein though.

If classic where to be define in a book I think this book will be nominated as it’s, this book shaped my classic way of living and as well brightened my thinking, no doubt I love this book.
