Never read it, and probably never will :P

>> No.596328

I though the ending didn't live up to the expectations that most of the book seemed to promise.

>> No.596330

That epistolary style takes some gettin' used to, I tell you what.

I gotta admit, I seemed to really get a hankerin' for pale tits after the D-man started suckin' on Lucy.

That was my favorite part of the book.

Also it goes up and down a lot imo. And does kind of end soft, but I think that's because of my preconceptions from watching Dracula movies. Over all very good book though. I recommend it.

I found that the said style was great during Jonathan's stay at Castle Dracula, but after that it's only OK. At least we some huge insight on Seward, Mina, Lucy, and Van Helsing.

>>596328
Yeah, the book's ending was kind of sudden and difficult to digest. Although Quincey's death kind of made up for it, if you get what I mean.

I fucking raged so hard when Lucy died and Van Helsing still wouldn't say what was up to Dr. Seward. And I got even madder when everybody was too stupid to realize that Mina was getting preyed upon by Dracula before he "baptised" her.

Has anyone read the sequel? I'm curious, but the risk of douchebaggery is huge.

>> No.596357

It worked for me. Read it a long time ago. The epistolary form worked for me. Might have enjoyed the "jolly good adventure" parts than the horror.

It was a long time ago.

Still waiting (a hundred years later) for the definitive movie version. Or even a reasonably good one.

It was entertaining. Never once was I bored well reading it. Dracula is a big dick.

It could have been the 1992 adaptation if not for turning Dracula into a pussy and Mina into an unfaithful bitch and have them fall in love. :\
