Plot Summary: Dracula is a book based on a group of adults trying to kill a vampire who is causing havoc around Britain. This mysterious vampire is known as Dracula who is very cunning and witty. He has the powers to control minds and suck the blood out of a living thing which therefore also makes him a killer. The main character first stumbles upon this man by working for real estate and trying to sell a wonderful house to Dracula. As days go by, he realizes that he is stuck in Dracula's castle and plans to escape and kill him before he can kill any more of his loved ones.

Personal Review: I really love this book because of how amazingly well written it is. It was hard to notice but I noticed many allusions and references to the Bible such as Adam and Eve as well as many other things that I wouldn't have ever picked up. It was extremely hard to pick up on some of the true meanings and intentions behind the author's words due to his high vocabulary span as well as how quickly you could just get lost. As a high schooler who read this in their freshman year, it is extremely hard to analyze, yet the way that the author puts things just fascinates me. This really had me thinking more deeper into books which made it more enjoyable. Furthermore, the ending was left off with a cliff hanger which slightly made me sad, but I recently found the second book of Dracula.

Similar Reads: Similar books that I have read to this are Dracula the Un-dead which is made by Dacre Stoker and is the sequel.
