whats the opinion of this?
I really liked the Coppola movie, but seems like it sacrificed a lot for aesthetic

Also my only vampire book, but it's great. The travels across Europe, the hunt and capture at the end. Some great moments and tension.

It was unexpectedly fun, v. aesthetic. It's not a masterpiece, but it's worth a read.

You liked the movie? That includes Keanu? Its one of the most badly acted movies Ive seen. The book is silly but fun.

Only part I really liked was with Van Helsing deducing the count was a vampire but a nice little allegorical tale about foreigners invading.

There's a lot of better gothic novels out there. Unless you want to impress (lol) someone, skip it in favor of The Monk, Castle of Otranto or sth.

This desu.

At first I thought the weird storytelling format would make it boring, but I ended up really enjoying it.
