It was okay. There were many things I failed to understand because of the language. I disliked how the characters were written. They were all one-dimensional and disgustingly moral. It was confusing how he kept referring to Lord Godalming with different names. On one page he was Art/Arthur and the next he was a lord. It took me a while to realize it was the same person. I think that we're supposed to think that this is a horror story but really it's a book for men to read and further inflate their ego with. Much more is written about how strong, intelligent, and brave the male species is compared to women than the actual character of Dracula. Also - did I miss it or did he leave out how Jonathon Harker escaped from Castle Dracula? Harker writes in his entries that the front door was locked and he was being kept prisoner by Dracula and he kept seeing the three women in his room. How did he get out? And why are there two characters named John (Harker and Dr. Seward)? He really couldn't think of another name??

Huh, so that was Dracula. I think the myth surrounding this book, and the pretty fantastic pop culture that has been birthed from it have long overshadowed the actual book. Amazing concepts, good first half, but a pretty tedious second half. Paper thin characters, and not enough Dracula. He barely appears and that is just tragic.
Obviously, this book is known and understood to be a classic and a masterclass of horror, so my opinion is just that, but I do wonder if it works well for most modern readers. I'm disappointed, I expected more than meh.
