I've got severely mixed feelings on this one, friends. But, in the end, it's a yes.

While I love Dracula and the concept of Dracula and the movies I've seen retelling the story, its original form drags a bit. It had me in the beginning, completely. I was immersed. I was engrossed. I was in love with this story and totally understood why it is deemed a classic and why it has remained popular through the years.

That being said, I can only read to the same vampire scene, women are upset, somebody faints, somebody almost dies, repeat so many times in one book. Toward the 70% point, I was struggling to get through it. It honestly felt like I was rereading the same passage again and again.

Don't let me persuade you against reading it though. It is, in my opinion, worth the read. Just be patient, and be prepared for an ending that you certainly are not expecting.
