Title: a definite classic
Review: I was blown away by this book and highly recommend it to anyone mature enough to appreciate the superiority of literature over Hollywood kitsch. Long after all the movies have lost their sophistication and have become corny, this book will still be disturbing. When you read it, keep in mind that it was written over a century ago when society was rigidly moralistic and consider how shocking it would have been to a Victorian audience. Another suggestion is to consider reading it from the point of view that it could be the fear of the spread of syphilis that Bram Stoker was tapping into with the sexual-like contamination of the blood and the insanity. Then take it a step further and consider what impact the book would have if it were written today, only about AIDS.
