I‘ve never read it. I liked the annotated Frankenstein, but this one is a little overwhelming...

Belated review... my book club took October AND November to tackle this lengthy classic. I‘m glad I read it, but I was expecting more depth (partly due to a friend‘s recommendation). In the end, it felt like just a straight-up adventure story. But I enjoyed the adventure! The Victorian attitudes & tropes were fascinating—simultaneous victim-shaming & excessive exaltation of female purity! I loved how Stoker used the epistolary format so well. ⤵️

BarbaraJean I started reading this in the annotated version, but quickly found it overwhelming and exhausting. The notes are just SO extensive, and the editor writes the footnotes through a fictional lens of the events having actually occurred, and the papers only having been assembled and edited by Stoker. Which is interesting and kind of fun, but awkward for a first time reader. I finished reading it in a good old reliable Penguin Classics edition.👍🏼 4y

Got to church early tonight, so I‘m sitting outside reading Dracula and enjoying the sunset. I‘m also enjoying the fact that I‘m reading Dracula in the church parking lot. While watching the cross on the roof silhouetted against said sunset. 😁

Texreader Sounds perfect to me!! 4y

Slajaunie Love it! That is a beautiful picture. 💙 4y

This week's #bookhaul. Well, okay, yesterday's. I'm super excited about the Annotated Dracula because it's hardcover and pristine, even though I found it used for $8.99. Now I can mark up my paperback copy as I do research! And I've been waiting on both of these graphic novels! (And you can always use another mass market of Golden Compass for $4. Especially when you plan to reread it this summer. Right?)

Even I can hardly believe I've never read Dracula. Picked this up from the local library in October of last year and am just getting to it. Many renewals. I'm kind of an asshole.

candyflossramparts Interested to hear what you think of this one. 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Hahahahaha!! I just requested this from the library! 7y
