Negative Positive
Title: The book, like its namesake, is timeless!
Review: I read Dracula many years ago, and the beginning chapters still haunt my memory today. While I was reading the one negative review of the book here, I was reminded of the story of the person who just recently saw Hamlet for the first time. After the play when asked how he liked it he replied, "It was alright, but it had too many cliches." To complain about how Dracula met his end in the original book, is like reading North and South and wondering who's going to win the war. Or watching Titanic and being surprised that the ship sinks. In my mind the flowery Victorian style only adds to the horror. By todays standards many will find the book lame and unexciting, but it caused a minor sensation when first published. The fact that it is still in print over 100 years later is a testament to its literary merit.
Is the review positive or negative?
