Review of Bram Stoker Dracula

Dracula, the vampire lord that Hollywood so lovingly packed to the gills with sex appeal and absolutely mystified is actually nothing like its painted to look like in his many blockbusters...Bram Stoker, the man who engendered this character so deeply rooted in lore, drew him in a completely different picture, and that is just one of the reasons i love this book, it shows you Dracula as his true ugly self.

The way chosen by stoker to deal out his tale of horror was in a series of journals written and recorded by 5 of the main characters, namely: Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker, Professor Van Helsing, Dr. John Seward and Lucy Westenra, each writing their own view on the events which creates a delightful multi dimensional feel to the occurring events, as they so passionately set out to destroy this foe that such tragedy brought into their lives.

However, all good things have their flaws, this novel is no exception. One example is the frustration one feels when a solution or answer seems so obvious to the reader and the characters seem completely oblivious to the most obvious little things while conjuring the most far fetched possibilities, until finally gaining new light. Nonetheless, frustration is a very rare thing while reading this novel, which in itself is a great read, that any horror lover interested in vampires, and the root of the mystified Hollywood Dracula will certainly enjoy.

Something new for the circulation!

I read the book while lying in my Transylvanian coffin, and later hanging upside down from my room pull-up bar. It's fascinating and fun to read in this position if you are a vampire, or just a regular bat hanging around the house! I bet Count Dracula would be proud of me.
Sincerely yours: Count Pleasures.

Bed books

The book was a "Bed Book" which meant the print was different. You have to hold the book sideways and read top to bottom. It's suppose to be better to read in bed. Maybe some people would enjoy this but it was very irritating until I got used to it. I don't think it was mentioned anywhere when I purchased the book. But it would have been nice to know!

Great book, strange format

The book itself was very good. It is one of the classics, but one that I had never read before. However, the copy I got was a "Bed Book" which has the print running across the page sideways rather than the normal long ways. I found the book very akward to read and would not order any other book it this format. I didn't realize that was what I was ordering this time, or I would not have done it. The book itself was very good and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

MY FAVORITE HORROR STORY....EVER!

DRACOOLA.The most famous name in H istory!
DROCUVA....The name that forever is E ternity!
DRAKAHLA..The name is doom for the L iving!
DRACULA..The SCARIEST name in any L anguage!
Dracula is my Fav.HORROR STORY of all time.
The thought of to be immortal is fascinating
and to have the one you love at your side
for eternity is most wanting! I love
the story of Dracula. Yes it has some
SLOW moments especially in the middle,but
really starts off well and ends with a piercing
THUMP!(sic) This is my 100th review and low and
behold it is on OCT. I said to myself that Dracula
would be my 100 on my 13th review and here it is
already. Stories of Vampires,Mummies,Werewolves
and animated bodies have been told for years.
But the one of the man who was once a Voivod
and a protector of his land and defender to
the people of the land. The true Prince and
one of many shadows! Bram Stokers tale of
the CURSED one has had many tellings on film
and from such actors as Max Shrek,Klaus Kinski
Frank Langella,Gary Oldman and Louis Jourdan
who gave a GRAVE performance in the BBC version
plus the most famous names of Lugosi and Lee(No!
not Bruce)so if you do not know the story of the
NO REFLECTOR! PLEASE...Take a bite into this story!
at least sink your teeth into it. It's good enough
to drive you Batty!(o.k.o.k. I'll stop!)I guess
my review is enough to give you HEARTBURN(oh! I did it again)

Who on Earth Needs a "Bed Book?

In my opinion printing the pages of a book sideways and from back to front with the notion that this makes it somehow easier to read in bed is a ridiculous and unnecessary exercise. If Amazon wishes to carry these kinds of useless inventions at least alert your customers on the order site as to the nature of the book that they are paying to have sent to them and then having to pay to return. I am normally thrilled with Amazon's service, but this is a glaring exception.
