“I went through a vampire phase about 20 years ago and read many books by several different authors. None could compare to Stoker, the original and the master of suspense. I always thought that one of the main messages of this book was the seductive powers of evil and how it can look good, even beautiful if it chooses. Even so, it will at some point show its true nature and destructive power. This book is worth the read for everyone.”

“Again another book club pick, not a favorite, I don't know maybe back in the day when there wasn't much else to do but read I might have a different take on this but I found myself finding other things to do to avoid reading this book”

    “i loved this book, my brother read it for school and he kept telling me about it so i just had to read it and i couldn't put it down..i havent seen any of the movies but my brother has and he said they are nothing compared to the book..we always have brother sister conversations about this book and i loved the whole book its sad that they cant make a good movie for it... i mean if they did it all like the book it would be amazing ..i dont see why they always have to change the story just to make a movie”

    “I absolutely love this book. I'm always purchasing it as gifts.

    As far as the movies go; I've pretty much seen them all. Not one really follows the book. The theme yes- but not the complete story as it reads.

    Francis Coppola version was beautiful to see; but where did the creature (dracula) with the white puffy hairstyle and long dress... come from? And yes the eternal love... was a bit too much...

    Every movie seems to take a piece here and there, but there has yet been a film to do this book justice.”

    “For me, this is one of those weird situations where the movie is better than the book. Any movie pretty much. Even Dracula Dead and Loving it was more entertaining (and actually the closest to the book out of the 3 movies I watched). This book was just boring for me. I didn't see what the big deal was.”

    “Tooo goooood!

    Read a Complete & unabridged version, it made me cry (Lucy), jump (Dracula), and wonder (Van Helsing)these characters, nice classic read, Solid Starting & Superb Climax. Now have to look for The Jewel of Seven Stars & The Liar of the White Worm.

    Abraham Bram Stoker's Dracula is a must read for Chill Thrill Horror & Suspense lovers
