I'm glad for having read it, but I'm not going to rush out and buy the rest of Stoker's oeuvre.<br /><br />We share an opinion of LoEG - that film was quite a dud. And Jackman's Van Helsing was quite distinct from the literary version. But that's why I'm interested in seeing a movie treatment that's a bit closer to the book.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038956427789115440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-60268978648873155032011-11-06T10:15:40.741-06:002011-11-06T10:15:40.741-06:00This is one of my favorite books!

I mostly love Mina Harker (The League of Extraordinary Men film didn't do her justice... but then again, it didn't do any of the literary characters justice). When I first read the novel, what I found puzzling was how little Dracula is actually physically in the scenes. It's funny how pop culture translates it. Could Hugh Jackman's version of Van Helsing be any different than the one in the book? Not to mention that movie is also so-so. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it!Danielle Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496872787228192263noreply@blogger.com
