Dracula By: Bram Stoker

      Reading this book had me on my toes the whole time. I know that's a really cheesy saying, but it's the truth. It was like everytime I was expecting something to happen. Something completely different happened. I honestly have never heard of this book untill it was on the list of books to read. Now, I love to read things that have to deal with the unusual it makes me think of  'how do people come up with this?'
      The beginning of this book was a definate drag. It took me awhile to get through it but, when Jonathan, a young, successful, lawyer, comes into town new all the towns people start talking about him, of course. When all those people find out that his destination was to Count Draculas' Castle in Transylvania. He maybe in the beggining and you think hes the main character but, you can't forget about his wife, Mina, which is visting with her friend Lucy, who is engaged. Who later gets turned into a vampire becuase of the Count who exscaped from Jonathan wehne he tried to kill him. With Lucy the way she is now. They had to get help to bring an end to the Count and Lucy. so, they got two of Lucy's ex's and had them help. With six people they destroyed the boxes the Count had shipped to the land when he had exscaped the castle. Pretty clever I think. Sending away six boxes with different types of land in it to survive. But, with all but one box destroyed, the one with the Count in it, went and destroyed him. Some of the launguage in this book i thought was very volgar and descriptive. The whole time it was if i was in the eighteenth century with them experienceing the horse and buggies with the fear of evil all around me.
