Finally finished it! This one took me a while, but mainly cause the edition i got had a tiny font and unending pages. Honestly this is an underrated book, every adaptation of it has been really lazy, the movies are mainly the first 10% of the book. Loved the interchangeable POVs, the diary entries, the epistolary parts, article cuttings, throughout the book we are trying to figure out the mysteries surrounding our characters and how they could be linked. And even though Dracula is the most popular vampire tale, i still got sucked into the mystery. I also really love reading the origin of popular tropes, and this one has a bunch, there's a whole storyline that most probably influenced the biggest reveal in the Harry Potter books (no spoilers) mainly i think, people think they know Dracula so much from the many homages and interpretations, that the original tale has been forgotten. Recommend reading if you're into some spooky vibes and a bit of mystery.
