This book definitely reads as a product of the time it was written, but if you can look past those things, it's a good story. It's really interesting to reflect on what is the same and different between it and the current cultural perception of what a stereotypical vampire is like. I was also really happy that Mina was such a strong character throughout the whole story instead of being completely relegated to a damsel in distress.
