Dracula by Bram Stoker

Not what I expected.

I've watched the Coppola movie way too many times, loved the acting of Keanu Reeves and the rest of the cast , but actually I was expecting that the book itself were a tiny bit similar to the book as well, and actually it was but not quite...I'd dare to say that 50% and 50%.

The 75% of the book is more about finishing Dracula and saving Mina, but Mina is not the lost love of the Count as said in the movie, NO! she's just a simple victim that refuses with all her might to belong to Dracula due to her principles, faith and love to her husband.

Mina was the lovely and dutiful wife stereotype, always worry for her husband, always close tu religion and sciences so, when it comes to her to stand against the evil she really fights with all she has, but it's not like she ever wanted that darkness among her or that she was someone important in Dracula's past...'cause she was not

And also one the biggest differences with the movie is that Dracula's scene death wasn't too much of a hustle as it shows...it was more like...

Also was way too long for my liking, because was too detailed but i can prize that the way of narrative was a compendium of diaries of every single character involved in the book...giving as a result a hell of a book.
