I’m done with the book. A question from me though, I’ve read all the spoilered parts but couldn’t see anything of this sort:
To the beginnings of the book…
SPOILER - Click to view
Dr. Seward, Quncey Morris and Arthur Holmwood had decided once to propose to Lucy on the same day, haven’t they? That’s a conclusion I came to, but I couldn’t be sure.
To the end-ish parts of the book…

While they were still in Dr. Seward’s house, just before leaving for Dracula’s castle in Transylvania, Mina gathered everyone together and talked to them about something which is irrelevant right now. Then she asked Jonathan to read a prayer from the Bible (or I thought so, I was reading a translation and it may have been different). Then somebody said that his/her energy was being drained from him/her and s/he couldn’t go on. Who was it? Why was his/her energy being drained?
What I didn’t like about the book (with major spoiler)…
SPOILER - Click to view
How Dracula died so easily. I was expecting an epic battle scene, but all I got was… a death of some sort. It was weird. And the fact that Quincey died and they named their child after him.
What I really liked was how I could create very vivid mental images for people in the book, although they weren’t decribed way too much. For some reason, I have very specific faces for Lucy, Morris, Dr. Seward, Van Helsing and Arthur. I haven’t read a book that made me do that for a long time. And actually, I (most of the time) don’t visualise the faces of characters in books.
So that was my side from reading the book. It was an awesome read for me
