UM DOS MELHORES LIVROS QUE JA LI NA VIDA MINA EU TE AMO
slow-paced
The ending was so anticlimatic and it pissed me off, but I enjoyed the rest of the story. It was very atmospheric and I loved the relationships between the characters.
Also, we did not see enough of Dracula or vampires in general for my taste.

Obviously a classic, but found the book fairly dull in some parts.
This was such a drag. So slow and ridiculous, I truly gained no insight into the story by reading it over simply watching Dracula: Dead and Loving It again, other than the inclusion of the American cowboy Quincey. There were so many points where I was like why are we spending 30 pages to describe how everyone’s letters and journals were combined?

This was unexpectedly scary, tense and exciting for me. I personally felt a bit of erotism in this, but maybe that's just my rotten mind. It was great!! Not 5/5 only because I remember reading it in chunks, it didn't consume me immediately. But what a classic!!

Dracula's reputation precedes it, and that's a big problem. Luckily, the novel at least manages to deliver on spooky atmosphere-- it's no surprise that this was a groundbreaking and shocking novel when it was published over a century ago, with it's violent and paranormal content. Unfortunately, these details don't hit that hard when you take the novel as a whole because they are overshadowed by many drawn-out passages that leave the reader yawning and wondering when they will reach the next exciting scene. I may not read Dracula again anytime soon, but the next time I do I will likely reach for an abridged version.

Listened to it as an "audiobook" by watching all of Red's (OSP) reading streams.
I was already familiar with most of the plot but some things were still able to surprise me in a positive way
Sometimes it seemed as though Stoker had his characters make stupid decisions like witholding vital information in order to set an example of what not to do, since these decisions had mostly negative consequences.
Mina was much more important to the plot than I had thought before actually reading the whole thing.
