I love this book so much it’s like actually my new favorite book. Sorry Anna Karenina, but Mina Harker has taken your place as my favorite woman of 19th century literature. She is just so slay, not to mention the rest of the story. At literally no point did there seem to be a lull in the story, Stoker does an excellent job at keeping the reader on the edge of their seat, and I think his decision to tell the novel through letters, diary entries, etc. was the perfect way to let the reader get very intimate with the mindsets of each of the characters.

Gothic atmosphere, late 1800s setting, interesting characters, mysterious antagonist.
Way different from what the various modern day interpretations would lead me to believe. I really appreciated the POVs of the various characters expressed through diary entries.

I love what has been influenced from this book and the first 1/4 of pages but man was the rest a slog and repetitive. I am grateful for it but wish the execution was way better.
