Dracula: Authoritative Text Contexts Reviews and Reactions Dramatic and Film Variations Criticism (Norton Critical Editions, Band 0)

The beginning is great with suspenseful atmosphere and much foreshadowing. After the second half the book loses that a bit. The finale is good though, but not as spectacular as I expected. All in all a good vampire novel.

I listened to this as an audioplay and I gotta say, it greatly elevated the experience! Very interesting where the whole vampire lore comes from in modern media,(slight spoiler!) I found it especially interesting that when you kill the vampire that sired someone the ones he sired that had not fully turned are cured of the "curse". Also personal highlight is van Hellsing taking the doors out of their hinges in the castle so they can't slam shut behind him fhsksj. Also I found interesting that literally no adaptation has gotten the plot of this book even remotely right XD also none seem to really get Jonathan? V interesting. Anyway I enjoyed it!

Hat mich leider nicht so überzeugt, wie vorerst erhofft. Das Englisch war nicht so anspruchsvoll wie gedacht. Die Geschichte leider nicht so spannend und an manchen Stellen hat es sich viel zu sehr gezogen...
