Awe, thanks for the shoutout ! Great video! It was nice to see so many people participating :) I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t like some of the men, but now I agree with you, we didn’t get enough character development, so there wasn’t much emotion attached to them.
Stoker's Dracula isn't too scary by today's standards. Modern horror writers depict much more gruesome, diabolical and loathsome situations and objects. However, the massive success it received during those times was due to a couple of reasons: 1. The desire of the Victorian public to turn towards the occult and the supernatural, resulting from a growing disillusionment with the scientific and industrial developments of the Victorian era. 2. Tourism and the wish to learn about new places and people. Transylvania was one place which was undoubtedly mysterious.
I don't understand why some old books are told through letters. I like Dracula but your right there were parts that dragged. I've read other books in this style and it's not my favorite. There were parts that gave me the creeps and not much does that.
Overall, this book was read for me to say, “I’ve read the classic Dracula”. I thought it was overall good and I liked Van Helsing the most. The worst part of the book was directly after Jonathan’s adventure in Dracula’s home. I was so confused on who the other characters were. It took me many pages to figure out the situation and the characters connections to Jonathan, Other than that the plot was great.
Currently writing about Rebecca for my English a-level coursework so it's perfect timing 😂 I really enjoyed it as a novel and I can't wait to hear your thoughts xx
I honestly thought that when you first mentioned your book club that first pick was going to be Frankenstein 🤗 so I can’t wait for you to choose it for the month! P.s I haven’t read Frankenstein so I’ll wait for it... patiently waiting 🤗
Shame I missed this. It's one of my favourite books and it would have been nice to read it again at this time of year. I actually like all the Whitby section because that's one of my favourite places and I've visited loads of times. Much prefer this book to Frankenstein I'm afraid :)
I am reading Rebecca and I am enjoying it but I feel like it is taking me a long time to read it. Maybe the pace picks up some later. I hope so cause I want the kinda creepy atmosphere.

Hi hannah, i'm reading Dracula for victober this month. I only just started first chapter, but i like it so far.
Hopefully you still like it by the end.

I feel that same.
