Dracula

What can you say about this book? If you want a good, creepy, give-you-nightmares, bite-your-own-lip book, then this is the book for you! Yes I bit my own lip while finishing this book. It is totally different from Bram Stoker’s Dracula movie with Gary Oldman as Dracula. That movie is more a love story behind the vampire story. The book is creepy, dark, and I loved every page of it. It will wake up a dark side in you to love vampires as monsters (not this Twilight stuff…sorry Twilight fans but in my book real vampires don’t sparkle and no I will not be reading those. If you have okay enjoy it, but I will not because I would like to keep the image of vampires as these creatures of the dark that haunts our nightmares. And don’t hate on me because I won’t read them). Back to Dracula. Dracula really is the bad guy in this book. You don’t feel for him in this book as you do with the movie.
I can’t wait to read the other book by Bram Stoker (Dracula’s Guest). I didn’t get nightmares but I did dream about vampires for a while (and still do on occasion, like last night). It took me about four years to read this book partly because of school and work and partly because of the way Stoker wrote the book. The language is difficult to read. However since I read Pride and Prejudice and Emma (both by Jane Austen) I think I can read the classics a little better and maybe a little faster than I used to.
Definitely this is a must read!!
