Well, this was indeed the best telling of the story of
Dracula that I have ever seen. It isn't crap like all those movies out there. Its a story, a good one, where Dracula is a vampire (a normal vampire, but an ancient one), not the king of all vampires; and where Van Helsing is not the great vampireslayer, but an older man, a doctor, who just knows a lot of vampire lore and who rallies some braves together to fight the evil. Again, its not the overexaggerated crap of the films out there. This is a tale that is realistic in comparison, and yet even more interesting.
If you want to read a good vampire story, or the TRUE story of
Dracula (if there ever was a true one, it was this; Stoker actually collected all the real documents that he could that hinted to the existance of the monster Dracula). This is a must read even if you're not that much of a vampire story fan because, once more, this isn't the crap of the movies (this seems to be my main motivation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ).
