What Members Thought
The first time I tackled it I gave up quickly--finding this a bore. The opinions of friends who have read this novel have been mixed. I know some that think it a great, literate read. Giving this a second try I can understand that. The descriptions of different locations from Amsterdam to Istanbul, from France to Greece and Romania are vivid and evocative; there's some great imagery in the novel. The author obviously did her research on these countries, and on the history and legend of Dracula.

I loved this story! It is full of rich vibrant details that form beautiful pictures of the the characters world. It was gripping and suspenseful. One of my favorite stories of all time!
This is about finding Dracula. It was actually pretty good if you can hang on until they get to Oxford. Before that, it is tedious reading and I almost put it down.
