Wonderful. I love how Stoker chooses to tell the story through the character's own words, through journal entries, letters, recordings, and telegrams. It makes the whole familiar story seem more believable. Even though I didn't feel quite as terrified of the Dracula monster when I read the book (probably because I've been jaded by so many Dracula films), I still felt the fear and concern of the characters through the haste of their own actions marked by dated (and often timed) journal entries and was able to draw an emotional response from that. The only real criticism I have is that because I have seen so many Dracula films, particularly the one from the 1990s with Winona Ryder and Gary Oldman (which seems to be most accurate to the book), I wanted a little more romance. I wanted someone to be in love with Dracula--give him a little more depth than just a merely cunning adversary. But I have to give Stoker props for being ahead of his time and being quite a feminist in his way, offering a strong female Mina alongside the weaker, more stereotypical Lucy.
