4.0

While adaptations and interpretations of Bram Stoker's novel are abundant, reading through this still managed to draw me into its struggle between his human characters and its menacing titular character. Impressively pieced together through letters, journal entries, and documents, its retrospective approach still managed to deliver a contemporaneous flow, leaving me consistently engaged. However, it was in the larger scheme of its narrative, the study against opposing forces, humanity and god, mortality and immortality, that marked my everlasting impression of the novel, even more so than its adaptations were able to apply.
