As a lover of books about vampires, it only made sense to read the classic. I had read a simplified English edition for class once, but I picked it up again to read it in my own time. I like the first half a lot.
The part in Dracula's castle was mysterious and gave me slight horror vibes. The visit of Dracula in London and everything with Lucy was also enjoyable to read, but the quest of killing Dracula took a little too long. The characters felt lively and distinct. I absolutely loved the Harkers.
There could have been some parts cut there. I would have liked to know more of the vampire lore and the wives in Dracula's castle, but I get that's not the point of the story.
