Honestly, for a classic this wasn't boring or anything.
 I actually thought it was pretty decent, a bit long but decent.
 Didn't really like how the whole book was just everyone's correspondence and journal entries but eh.

Ho trovato la costruzione del romanzo per lettere, telegrafi e spezzoni di diario veramente incredibile. Poi l’audio libro su Storytel, registrato in maniera quasi cinematografica (stile Sandman per intenderci) crea la giusta atmosfera. Perfetto per le giornate grigie di novembre

A very good story in general, with a Dracula present not in form but in spirit, which makes him truly terrifying despite not being constantly in the physical spaces presented in the novel. The only negative for me is the constant chatter where it is reiterated over and over again how pure, sincere, good-hearted and gallant the main characters are, which causes a certain feeling of no progress in the story even though it is happening.

It is a good book, deserves its status of classic. It wasn't really creepy to me but maybe for someone else it'll be much scarier. Most of the time characters were planning stuff and i wish there were more reactions of said vampires. It would be cool to see them interact more often. The begining was very cool and more intimidating than the rest of the book. But it was good, really. Enjoyable, interesting story.

Bueno, tardé 3 años en leer esto, pero por fin lo terminé. Fue una buena lectura, el ritmo era lento pero daba mucha información. El final me decepcionó: tras 500 páginas de diálogo extenso y monólogos pesados, la resolución se dio en un párrafo corto. Yo me esperaba algo más épico, no sé. En fin, estuvo bien. Mina la mejor.

I remember reading this book at school and being fascinated by it and the fascination has never really gone away - I absolutely love this book and could never get bored of reading it.
