I don't know much about it, but I guess I should stop being such a wimp!! :) I like to whine a lot--kind of a bad habit.

Unfortunately, it didn't do much for me...

I also loved the atmosphere, the characterization and Stoker's writing itself.

It is far and away my favorite...as much because I read it and was thrilled by the eerieness of it when I was 12 as by the layers of enjoyment I have discovered in it through multiple re-reads as an adult. It truly is an amazingly written book with wonderfully realized characters atmosphere you could cut with a knife.Carl V.
