Surprisingly good! And surprisingly scary! I really enjoyed this, and really enjoyed each and every character. It was well paced and each perspective felt distinct. I love the way the story is told, and that Stoker uses and resolves everything that he sets up. There were a few plot points that I thought were slightly odd (the vampires relationship to sunset and sunrise, as well as Dracula traveling by box), but at least they're consistant all the way through. I would have loved to see certain characters doing certain things as to give the story a sense of arc, but overall it is very cohesive, and a really fun read. It does not feel wordy which I was worried about given the age of the book.
