Review: Dracula

Dracula by Bram Stoker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was really drawn in by this Gothic mystery that introduced Count Dracula to the world. I think it is well-paced and the presentation of an assembly of notes, recordings, and diaries, etc. is engaging. It prompted me to review the Bram Stoker's Dracula (1973 film)> British television movie adaptation with Jack Palance in the title role as well as the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola production starring Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and Anthony Hopkins.

Back to the book, somebody should really tell the tale from Renfield's P.O.V. This sad lunatic has much going on for personal encounters with Dracula and well as psychic ones and goes through quite an arc with his most dramatic moments happening "off stage."
