I'm glad I'm not the only one who was disappointed by this book. I never really attempted to read vampire books prior to reading Dracula several years ago, so I found the bits describing his special traits to be interesting. However, whenever Van Helsing was talking, I tended to be annoyed because of the thick accent on his English. Haha
I think you'd have to read the book before watching the movie, because they have much relation to each other, but there are many passages in the book spoken by the characters in the movie. Bram Stoker wrote a horror novel from sinful carnal desires, while in the movie tells a story of lost love, betrayal and revenge, all to regain his love.
The stories are different in their development but retain the deep essence of the novel.
Greetings and I'll wait the next video.

I read Dracula when I was about 14/15 ( 10+ yrs ago) and I really liked it. I only saw the movie about 5 yrs ago and I didn't really like and thought it was kinda cheesy. I have wanted to re read it but that probably won't happen for a while.
I really enjoyed Dracula. I liked the characters and the setting. Plus, this is one of the first books that started vampire myth. I'm actually going to be re-reading it again some time soon before the TV show starts this fall so I can compare the book with the show once it airs.
Van Helsing has been so ridiculously over-hyped in comparison with the books but I really like that. The characters aren't wonderful and hot and dark and amazing. They're just normal people dealing with a weird new monster. I guess it depends if you're into Victorian books or not.
I was a bit disappointed with Dracula when reading. There was so much filler for me and the pacing was so slow. I really despised the part where the two girls were sitting and talking on a bench overlooking the sea (if I remember correctly). But it picked up a little toward the end. Especially when Dracula infiltrated the house and such. but otherwise it was meh.

Sad you didn't like it because I loved it

I think the problem is that the original is so old! We've seen so many re-interpretations, I guess that would happen to me too :p

"I've been completely deceived by the movie about what this book is about" which is why I hated that movie.
I really liked the questions!
I preffered Carmilla to Dracula
The questions were really good, they're an interesting way of looking at books.
I really enjoyed the seven questions you had at the end!
