I had to read this for A-Levels - and compare it to Frankenstein. I didn't much like either of them to be honest, but I couldn't stand Dracula. His style of writing is easier to read then Frankenstein, but the story is here and there.I didn't like any of the characters. Mina annoyed the Hell out of me. Dracula barely seemed to feature apart from in the beginning and he was the most interesting.
I liked the beginning few chapters, but then it just seemed to go down hill for me. Bram Stoker himself seemed to get a bit bored half way through as it rambled on a bit. Hardly scary or suspenseful. That's probably to do with modern standards as to what is scary or suspenseful - but either way. I didn't like this book full stop.
Perhaps in the future I'll read it again. School reads for the most part, just made reading tedious and boring.
All in all, I'm not a fan of horror, paranormal or supernatural so I'm probably more inclined to dislike anything within this genre.
