Dracula Stoker, B, Dracula, New York, Barnes & Noble Classics, 1847 I think Dracula will be about some people who want to destroy Count Dracula who is a vampire.

Did you **//enjoy//** it, why or why not? Did you find it easy to get into? Did you like it the more that you read it? Would you read more books by the same author, or of a similar genre? ||< The book Dracula is very Slow paced. it is quite a difficult book to read. the main conflict was between Dracula And the group of people who are trying to stop the Count and it is resolved by the people hunting him down in Transilvania as he is trying to escape and they stop his carrage and Jonathan and Quincey Morris chop off his head and stab him in the heart before Van Helsing fills his mouth with garlic cloves to kill him. I did not enjoy it because it did not have a very long end but the beggining was 200 pages long. I would not read other Bram Stoker books because I think his resolution was too small. It was hard to get into because the words were tiny and it carried on ||<  ||
