A classic written in an interesting manner.

Boring. I was thinking that I could do something more fun

This digital copy is perfect, it had the whole story and no missing parts. Sure it is plain but it was exactly what I was looking for when I wanted to read the original Dracula story.

This is a fabulous book, although long. But, once finished, you realize it could not have been shorter so keep with it. Stoker uses plot to bring what at first seem to be disparate character threads together and makes great use of tension right up to the last. I couldn’t put the book down. What a genius to write such a book that withstands the test of time. A true classic.

great free book!

A epic, masterful account of the cursed and the swords that fell him. Bram Stoker delivers an exquisitely comprehensive journey from the Count’s castle to London to the majestic Carpathian Mountains and the mythical region of Transylvania. The story unfolds itself almost exclusively through journal and diary writings detailing the vampire’s stranglehold over beasts and weather and the dramatic chase to end his cursed reign over dear Madam Mina and all those he commands. An elaborate tale, deliciously articulated with climactic resolve.

Brilliant!

It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.............…………………… it's a bananana next to a bananana

I just finished reading a book I really didn't have a lot of interest in but it was a freebie on Apple iBooks. It pulled me in and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't too spooky but the writing format was a little odd until I got into it.

Incredibly well written and enthralling!

Good book good book very good book. I like it so much I put under my pillow and sleep with it

From what I understand, this is the first piece of media involving vampires. I guess Mr. Stoker mentioned a book in an interview, cited it as inspiration, and hoped, also, that another author would complete her scholarly work of the nosferatu. However, this seems to be the original, gold standard of vampires. Anyone looking for more information on where vampires come from will find it interesting. It is allegedly gathered from all the myths and traditions.

However, anyone looking for a good story and not considering it an essential piece of literature to our culture, is better off choosing a more modern book. Dracula drags on and on between scary parts. And the philosophy, or "moral" of the story is so obvious and wordy, it makes you think there must be a different meaning.

Amazing vocabulary

I hated this book. If you are in school you may want to read it or else you will get a D on the test like I did :))

This book is magnificently well written. A portrait of the British society at the time, representing the people with principles. I love the tenderness and the politeness characters have in the dialogues. Really worth!

I read this book decades ago. This is the first book I've read on my iPhone. I ended up using Sepia to view the text. It is very easy on these eyes. I love to read and the iPhone makes it easy to bring your books with you.

Dracula is a great story told all in journals and notes written from many different views. If you have seen the original film with Bela Lugosi, the book goes to a deep and rich depth. If you want to see a film version that is closer to the book, check out the one with Louis Jourdan from the BBC. It is one of the best.

Yuck it is horrible😒😒😒😒

How wonderful to experience the narrative of Dracula! To walk with each character as they describe in journal their individual struggle, feelings, fears. I felt what they felt, heard what they heard, wept as loved ones were taken by the evil of the undead.

I found the ending somewhat anticlimactic, actually expecting one final battle. A wonderful classic though, a must read for all lovers of books.

This again was the best book I have ever read I now want to be put in Dracula's place

Second time reading this. It's a classic for a reason, but a lot more fun than a lot of the classics.

A great way to interpret Dracula in your own mind. The book was much better than i imagined. I might even read it again!

It was an interesting read. While at first it was very slow it soon began to get very interesting.

Really quite a read, old classic , still exciting.

This book was a great read.

I loved this book! It's the original and it's totally mysterious. I recommend this book for monster lovers (such as myself) and mystery lovers!

I love this book it's isn't the best but it is very good I think every should read it

Well-written though it tells a very basic story and avoids the vampire-human soap opera cliche.

Una obra de suspenso y ficción que debería leerse antes de permitir que las versiones de cine nos la dieran a conocer. Muy descriptiva, en algún momento si se quisiera en exceso, mas de lectura fluida.

I love it! I don't understand how Vampires became some weird loving creature, when in the original they are far from it.

No wonder this book is a classic

Great read. Even for someone such as I at age 16! xD

As excellent a piece of literature as one is likely to read

Great book! Please take the time to read it!

Fun read. Now I need to read The Historian again.

This book was a worthwhile read. The pace was rapid and scintillating. Highly recommended reading.

This book was to long.

What an amazing tale, I couldn't put it down.

Very interesting I liked it

bad book . not fo cis worrrrrrd. yolo

Very good book. Not hokey like so many of the movies. A true classic with well -written narratives of the early 1900's. I enjoyed the style of writing as journal entries of the characters (excepting Dracula himself).

I hoped this book would deliver at times but was disappointed in the end. The main events of the book left me feeling like it didn't accomplish what it was building up to.

The prose is deliciously rich, and the plot is so suspenseful and eerie. No film remake of the book comes near to capturing its essence.

Wow! I only thought this was popular because of its genre. It's actually a great story told in an interesting format. A bit long and wordy for modern readers but the story line makes up for that.

I thought the end would be more intense. Still a good read!

Definitely a classic worth reading

Dripping fear somebody dies somebody gets away with murder.

It’s a terrific, fun, read. Not great in the sense of Shakespear or Conrad or Joyce, but great in that it is ceasly thrilling. some friends couldn’t put it down! So well described, it springs to life. I’ve not reread it for metaphor; something on line suggested it might be ndicative of a fear that the quest for the British Empire might recoil on the British; but in this instance the conclusion would have to be that the British had liyyle to fear in that regard. Very sensual.

It wasn't the best book ever, but it was good

It's long book but very intros ting and exciting it feels like your in Transylvania,Virginia! It is a good book. Need to read it

Mom reads this book allot

This book is a classic. It was awesome. I loved reading it.

This is not the book about the monster 😭🔫💔

I love this book, lots of suspense and action. It is a must read.

This book is a great literary work. The problem that I have with it is that it begins with the climax of the novel. The rest of the book is bearable.

A bit of a tough read at times but good none the less. If you are a fan of classics, I highly recommend.

This book is a classic and I enjoyed it. However, it lacked action. Most of the book was pretty boring.

I enjoy reading this classic!!!!!

What a great book. Bram Stroker gets you personally involved with the characters so much so that at one point I had to stop reading it because I was furious with the Count. Can't speak highly enough about this book. Read it, you won't regret it.

This book is one of the best horror classics. Amazingly well written and very entertaining! I couldn't stop reading it.

So exciting! I've never read this book before and truly enjoyed it!

Entertaining and suspenseful but somewhat wordy at times.

This book was fantastic the movies can do no justice and give a false image of Dracula. The book is a classic and has no content you would not find in a middle reader now. For the time period it was written it would have been considered horrific but now it is more muted and has been enhanced with unnecessary zeal for Hollywood. I would recommend not watching any movie and simply read this book as it is the original Dracula. Needless to say, I loved it!

By far the best vampire book ever written. A literary masterpiece & a true work of genius!!!

Ita good, but last few pages are missing

I liked this book and should be read

I'm glad it's been many years since I watched the movie, so I wasn't "contaminated" by pre-defined ideas about the story. And what a story. There are aspects of the book which I thought were not well developed as I seen other authors do. It was strange that the characters had very similar personalities, had quite the same way of expressing themselves. Aside from Van Helsing, and Count Dracula of course. Who are really the only matches for each other.

But overall the story is very appealing, very well-designed and the last chapters were exhilarating.

This book about The Count Dracula is far better than any of the modern attempts to portray vampires. A must read!

This is a fantastic novel. When Keanu Reeves says to the Count, "Dude, where's my surfboard?" I got the chills! I was somewhat taken aback, however, when Mina gave Henry Kissinger a full clothesline move, and without a thought to the Geneva Convention, pushed Kissinger out of the plane. That was cold blooded murder, no matter how you slice it. It was wrong. Did she not understand the plane was flying at 30,000 feet?

Read the first page. Read it. See what it says? 'Dracula: a mystery'. That's what this book is! A mystery. Not The cheap, stereotypical story of the sort everyone thinks of around Halloween.

The Characters are intelligent. Stoker doesn't reveal everything at once. There are no peek-a-boo corpses or any other tropes designed to scare the wits out of you as a compensation for plot.

You're always wondering what happens next. It feels like Helsing and his friends are trying to defuse a bomb during the entire book. Dispose of the vampire before he decides to escape and sleep for another century or two. Dracula is cunning. Cunning, in the true sense of the word. Not the 'cunning' people use while reviewing movies (Though that's a bit ironic: I'm writing a review myself :P).

And it's free? That's just the icing on the cake.

I really don't like horror, nor do I like vampire stories. This book is one of the (less then five) exceptions.

Just ... Just download it and read..

This book is so scary that i cant sleep at night😱. But it is truly a page turner!

Excelent book, verry well written.

What a great book. I read this 40-something years ago as a teenager, and had forgotten the power of Stoker's prose. The book is free. What do you have to lose? Download it and read, or reread, a great story.

What a great book, truly a classic. I had read the book a long tome ago but had forgotten how good it was.

:) love this book

"oh wow"

Amazing story

This book is truly one of the classics. It is rather hard

to read because of the language of the time, but well worth it!

What an incredible build up to the finality of the Count!

Once you get the hang of the style (written in diary form of several different characters)it is a suspenseful novel - I bit all my nails !! The movie I made in my mind ( which I think is the best part of reading) beats any rendition of Dracula made for tv or film. Wonderful.

Happy to be assigned this reading from my Literature professor.

Very good story! I need to read more of it.

This was an amazing read. I plan on reading it a second time once my semester is over--during Christmas break. That's how much I loved it--coming from someone who has never thought to read a novel a second time!

I was skeptical, but this story is a classic for a reason. Stoker's original Dracula is deeper and better and sweet and sadder than anything it has inspired since then.

Great book a real classic

A well told story is what I look for in a book and Dracula is one of the best.

Love this!

This has to be the greatest book I've ever read. I am very picky about books, me being a "snarky" teenager, and rarely manage to finish one. However, I could not bring myself to put this one down. It is a fairly slow-paced book, as most of the "action" takes place between long intervals and a lot of patience is definitely required to pull through it, yet the writing is beyond captivating, and the storyline is both eerie and dramatic; there is something quite romantic about it. It's easy to see why it is such a well known classic; I would highly suggest anyone should read this amazing book.

Compelling, creepy, and beautiful all at the same time. A classic for a reason.

A very good book need too read

This was a thrilling page turner! I am so grateful to have read this amazing book that no movie can do it justice.

This is one of the best books ever

I've read this book a million times and it keeps getting better and better

Truly amazing the original vampire story a classic and completely free!!!

I thought I knew the story but I didn't. Very worthwhile read though the translation gets a bit dicey at the end.

Loved it! Free is always plus!!! A must read!

Good book, as the time goes on things that can be used change, but somethings remain the same. It's not over yet... Haahaaahaaa

It was awesome, I enjoyed it.

This is one of my favorite books. Too bad none of the movie adoptions are ever accurate to the story.

Awesomest book I ever read

If u like vampires, u should definately read this book <3. But, if u hate blood and dread vampire stories, choose to ignore this wonderful novel. :(

If you like vampires at all, then for God's sake, read this!

This book is quite good. I really enjoyed it. True the movie does no justice but

I'm looking forward to going back and watching it again now. The legend of van helsing is here as well.

I have just finished reading this great story for the second time. The first was some 26 or so years ago. It was even better the second time. No movie can ever do it justice. It is truly a work of art. Bravo Mr. Stoker.
