content: I read this before I read Dracula In Love (which I loved and recommend) because I wanted to be up on the storyline of Mina. The first part was interesting but I basically skimmed more than 50% of end because it was so boring. The endless descriptions and flowery language was tiring to slog through.My impressions:Ladies are Madonnas or whores and being touched by a vampire automatically puts you in the latter category.Good, virtuous men are also perfect physical specimens (eugenics anyone?).Blood transfusions can be done indiscriminately on anyone at anytime with no medical repercussions.That's all I can remember from what I read.
