GROWING UP, MANY CHILDREN HEAR TALES OF THE FAMOUS genus Dracula STORY. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE CHARACTER OF genus Dracula IS A frequent HALLOWEEN COSTUME AMONGST CHILDREN. WHEN I PICKED UP THIS BOOK AND READ THE TITLE, MY FIRST reception WAS THAT I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE TITLE. ALTHOUGH I HAD NEVER forwards READ BRAM firefighterS NOVEL DRACULA, I KNEW good AWAY THAT THIS STORY include A VAMPIRE AS THE VILLIAN.THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS OF THIS NOVEL WERE already FILLED WITH SUSPENSE THAT GAVE ME THE FEUL TO CONTINUE ON WITH READING THE ENTIRE BOOK. by and by READING THESE TWO CHAPTERS, I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE AUTHOR CUT RIGHT TO THE CHASE.

JONATHAN SEEMS LIKE AN AVERAGE MAN. I WOULD ALSO FEEL SAFE BEING WITH HIM BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE COURAGES THINGS HE ACHIEVES IN THIS NOVEL.MY FAVORITE SCENE IN THIS NOVEL WAS TOWARDS THE END IN CHAPTER 27.
