Dracula (Wordsworth Classics)

Quality paperback. Story was the original but not like any movie which helped make it an enjoyable read.

A classic and affordable! Took me a while to read all of it but I loved all of it. Seeing the story unfold through the perspective of different characters is one of my favorite things in literature. The horror and mystery of Dracula has made it one of my favorite books.

My husband and I love to read the same books and discuss them. This book has given us hours of entertainment and conversation.

What more needs to get said about this that hasn't already? Well, I think Mr. Stoker had a woman’s help with some parts of the book. It's difficult to believe the first person point writing in regards to the female characters wasn't written by a female. A classic story, though.

Inexpensive classic.

Love the cover. Love the book

Cute, artsy, minimalist paperback copy. Matte finish with gold foil letters on the cover. Shades of muted blues, soft pencil grays on the cover. We all know and love this classic. Definitely worth it as an extra copy to have around. The price-point at my time of purchase was $3.95 which is a steal. Buy it.

Looks a little old and the spine was damaged but its cute.. worth it for the price

Si tratta di un testo che ho acquistato per l'Università e l'ho trovato veramente ottimo. Ciò che mi è piaciuto è la carta utilizzata per il libro, ma ancor di più l'introduzione del testo, che ne spiega i particolari e i significati che altrimenti non sarebbero riconoscibili dal lettore. Spedizione ed imballaggio ottimi grazie al servizio Amazon (nel mio caso Prime). Trovo quest'edizione particolarmente eccezionale, poichè presente un'introduzione molto chiara, è tascabile, molto pratica da portare in Università, in treno, in autobus, in metro etc! La carta inoltre è molto piacevole al tatto e non è plastificata, permette dunque di appuntare note e traduzioni senza particolari problemi. Lo consiglio molto, come consiglio l'acquisto di qualsiasi altro libro di questa collana.

Great book, decent cover and quailty.

I have to admit that I purchased Dracula almost as an afterthought and left it to gather dust on the bookshelf for a year. I started reading it though a few days ago and having just finished it am glad to impart my two cents. What can I say?....It was gripping. Stoker is proved as a skilled writer for his superb balance of suspense, mood, reasoning, action and macabre imagery. The documentative style utterly had me in the thralls of the characters and their predicaments; even more so when something troubling or chilling occurred or threatened to do so serving only to pull me deeper and deeper into the nightmarish reality of the Count. Several other reviews point out issues with the pacing especially with regards to the middle of the novel. I don't believe this to be an issue although I will be honest and say I had to employ an act of will in order to get by 2 or 3 chapters in the last quarter of it. One might attribute this to the fact that I was up all night finishing it though. :) There are several contrived scenarios regarding character proximity which have to be taken with a fairly large grain of salt but since it was quite obviously intentional it poses no problem as long as the reader can suspend belief. Van Helsing can be long winded at times which in and of itself would not be troublesome but for the fact that his English is only passably grammatically correct which forced me to at times jump back a line or even paragraph or two to discern his true meaning. There is a flip side to this coin however as I can't imagine Stoker painting him with a different brush. It is therefore that Van Helsing's mode of speech is both a blessing and a curse. Stoker weaves his plot and characters tightly, interlacing polarising myriad feelings and themes of love and hate, sadness and joy, hope and despair, sickness and health and ultimately life and death. An emotional roller coaster that is worth your attention and at £2 what more could you ask for? In closing you may wonder why I have not touched deeply upon the antagonist. I will leave that to Stoker. "It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion."
