I was totally unprepared for how thrilling this book would be. I absolutely loved the written record format. It doesn’t make it one bit less thrilling! And the format lends itself well to bringing you closer to the characters, getting to know each of them personally in a way that doesn’t feel voyeuristic.
I”ve read this book several times, but this is my first listening experience with it. I’ve never been satisfied with any other portrayal of the Count, but the original Bram Stoker novel. What brings me back to it over and over is the old world experience, especially Harker’s journey to Transylvania. There were some oddities to the reading, and I think that I’m on board with them. Some of the actors used accents when quoting other characters and some did not. Mina always did her best to give the impression of a Texan, Dutch, and male voice, where Dr. Seward never did. But I’ve decided that we’re all that way when we tell stories. Some people just have the gift of impressions and some do not.The voices are very similar to the ones in my head from having read it several times. Mina, having said to have the brain of a man but the heart of a woman, is thus portrayed….both exacting and courageous, but also movingly compassionate EVEN toward the count….all conveyed well by the actor.Unrelated to the performance, I’ll say that I’ve always struggled with Van Helsing. He seems like that lonely fellow that upon making friends for the first time gets a little too attached, pledging life long love and such. He is also terribly long-winded. I sometimes zone out once I get the gist of what he is saying.Also, the beauty of this novel is in the intimacy. Reading diaries and letters satisfies a certain desire for voyeurism! Give gives you such a sense of atmosphere both inter.
It’s one of those stories that so many of us are already familiar with, most likely because of the many films based on it over the years. With that in mind, we all know how it ends already, but, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how good the book is on its own. None of the films follow the book exactly, so there’s still new things to experience in it. Sure, you already know Van Helsing & co. survive the ordeal and poor Lucy dies at some point toward the beginning, but there’s still alot of interesting details to be found in there that don’t make it into the films. I had a good time comparing it to the movies as I went along and making mental notes of the differences. At any rate, the book stands on its own and reading it will give one all the reasons needed to understand its enduring influence across diverse media. A must read for anyone who enjoys a suspenseful adventure story. I took special pleasure in all the moments when the uptight Victorian characters were having complete emotional breakdowns from dealing with the reality of the situation they were in. I think that’s the real gem here. The one surprise is that despite the Romantic sort of vibe media tends to give anything to do with vampires and "gothic" things in general, and the Dracula story in particular, this is definitely NOT a Romantic or Gothic story. It’s purely a dark and twisted adventure story, told very creatively with through the medium of journal entries with a fast pace that becomes a real.
I got this book along with the audiobook in order to try out the Whispersync and it was way cool. I like to actually read books but don’t get a lot of time to do that, so I could listen to the book when I wanted to and then it would sync up to the approximate location in the written version so I could read when I had a chance. Didn’t get it to actually sync exactly to the same spots where I stop reading one and opened the other but it was close enough I could find it without problems.I do bristle a little at having to pay twice for the same book, but I guess I do that with VHS and DVD movies if I want different formats so i can’t complain.The book itself is classic. Having seen the movie first I will tell you that the movie scared me a lot more than the book. But it was a good read and a good story.
The writing is so vivid, it literally gave me chills, and yet it also isn’t overdone. There is just enough left to the imagination to make your imagination run wild. I can certainly understand why it is considered a horror classic. Some of the writing is dated, of course, but it overall remains incredibly strong for a modern reader as well. I really do not know what else to say in a review, especially for a book that virtually everyone knows at least part of the story of, except that this is one classic that certainly shouldn’t be passed up. I won’t even go into the dreams I had due to the influence of reading the book, but they were certainly interesting. Suffice it to say, it is the first time I have been tempted to sleep with the light on since I was a child, and I’m not the least bit ashamed to admit it.
Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain.Van Helsing said this to Dr. Seward to prepare him for an understanding of what has happened to Lucy. There are things in this world that science cannot explain, but that does not mean that they do not exist.Free will exists. But you cannot put free will under a microscope. Good and Evil exists. But science will never be able to define them, or find a way to combat Evil. Oh, it can find solutions for natural evils, such as hunger and disease – but not Evil. This Evil, the Evil One, the Devil, is personified in Stoker’s Dracula.Stoker grew up with Folklore of Catholic Ireland. He came to England in the late 1800’s and encountered the materialism of the secularists and the liberal Protestants. Although Stoker himself was not a Catholic, he was sympathetic to Catholicism, especially since his wife converted to Catholicism.England at that time was anti-Catholic. It was just about 50 years ago that England passed the Catholic Relief Act, which took away institutionalized discrimination against Catholics. But this does not mean Catholics were no long victims of prejudice. Also, there was an explosion of scientific breakthroughs at this time. People started to think that science would explain everything and solve everything. They even thought that science would find the key to immortality (see the ICE book on Frankenstein).This is what Stoker was address.
The principal reason I started reading this book was my father’s advice.He always tells me that the book is the appropriated tool to feel all of the deep details that the author wants to describe.I like the way that the writer describes the different stages through this book. An excerpt, for example, happens in the chapel inside of the Dracula’s castle when Jonathan says…… “There was an earthy smell, as of some dry miasma, which came through the fouler air. But as to the odour itself, how shall I describe it? It was not alone that it was composed of all the ills of mortality and with the pungent, acrid smell of blood,…â€One more time my father is right. I wonder, how would you describe this scene in a movie nowadays? I like the amazing description from this book. However, I didn’t like something in the end, but I don’t want to tell you because you have to read definitely this book.
Awesome epic, and so MUCH different and better than any of the movies. Spiritual, religious, tender, loving, realistic, powerful, horrific and transcendent! Oh how I wish I had read it many years ago.
The complete story is not really scary because most people are aware of the vampire folklore. As it flows fast at major events but slows down between the major parts. The beginning catches your mind but in the middle you think “this is boring” but at the end somewhat satisfied. I would say it is a classic but not in the same sense as Jane Austen or Charles Dickens.Most people want speed, excitement and gore in horror novels. You will not be that satisfied if you are looking for death and gore. It is more of a drama mystery but is slow in some parts. The speed is what gets annoying. In some parts its just a bunch of nonsense and long winded. It takes somewhat patience and devotion to complete the book.I would not classify it as a true horror. Frankenstein is more of a horror and this doesn’t have too much death but more of a tale. Also it is not a straight clear story it comprises of journal and diary entries. That is what makes it more of a drama because of the various perspectives.If you get this book beware you must have some patience to keep pushing yourself to complete the book. But if you complete it you will be somewhat satisfied on how the whole vampire folklore came about.
Ah the wicked stuff of folklore and things that go bump in the night, the mystery of the caped, dark, powerful, irresistible but evil stranger who takes by force would lead the unaware to think that the novel that started this is written as an action movie script. It’s not. Back eons ago when the word was just young, Bram Stoker created a set of narratives from the different characters that spans the emotional, spiritual, religious and metaphysical aspects of man’s confrontation with forces of good and evil. His brilliant juxtapositions come from inside the characters, not through an author’s descriptions, but from segments of diaries and letters, which even reflect the grammatical mistakes and misspellings of Van Helsing. Goodness, and the grace of God does triumph in the end over the sweeping powers of the dark, but even here the infected and doomed humans, tainted with the blood of evil from Dracula, maintain a modicum of humanity until death transforms them fully. Ah but when they finally are destroyed as vampires, they are released and a moment of relief and beauty is seen at the time of redemption Read it and weep.
