..the book. Anyone read it?
Just tried, but gave up. The first part is good, about a bloke staying at Drac’s castle, then it’s just loads of really uninteresting exchanges between 2 women. Like a different book! What have I missed?

I found it quite boring myself. I gave up and read something far better.

Not just me then 🙂

I liked it. Which is rare for classic novels.

i think i’ve seen the film.

it was all right.

I read it ages ago, the weird thing is where they kill him, it’s like ” i stabbed him and he died”

That’s it!!!

He was killed??? 😯
Well, that save reading it now.

You’ve ruined it now 😉

So he does come back into it later then? After all the Jane Austen stuff?

I enjoyed it, but then again I enjoyed reading Hardy and Flaubert.

‘care for a hors d’oeuvre Dr Jack?’

It’s not just a story about a Vampire btw, there’s lots of good shit in there.

Yeah it get really racist about gypsies, and it’s like this big race back to his castle.

Doesn’t one of them turn into a vamp as well? Can’t remember!

SEX, there’s lots of things about SEX in the book.

Plus, he turns out to be a duck.

and it turns out hes a ghost and the little boy is helping him accept it.

its a compliation of journal entries and letters rather than descriptive story therefore it was totally different to what i was expecting and i really really enjoyed it.

much of it is about the main blokies mental collapse and the hunt for ole drac to prevent world domination rather than a cheesy bond-esque action adventure novel with car chases and explosions

and it turns out hes a ghost and the little boy is helping him accept it.

MrsDezB did actually say that to me when we went to see that at the cinema! Never forgotten!

rather than a cheesy bond-esque action adventure novel with car chases and explosions

I do hope the inference isn’t that I would prefer such a work of literature..?

I liked it, but also appreciate the insightful comments of a critic friend who said, ‘Bram Stoker couldn’t write a coherent shopping list.’
