Dracula, that compelling creature of the night, continues his neck-biting ways in a version of the novel that children will devour. Moving from Transylvania to London, the timeless vampire serves up thrills and chills as he imprisons and terrorizes the innocent Jonathan Harker, and then goes after his fiancée, Mina, and her friend Lucy. From creepy, insect-eating Renfield to Dr. Van Helsing—who valiantly fights Dracula’s evil—the characters and drama are spellbinding.

The spirit of the original story is maintained while being abridged and told in a more modern English style,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Classic Starts: Dracula (Classic Starts Series) (Hardcover)
Given the legend of Dracula as portrayed in the movies, comic books and other venues, I firmly believe that all people would be served by reading the original story by Bram Stoker. It is a classic dark tale of legend and superstition, which ironically, began with the life of a real Count known to history as Vlad the Impaler.
This book, an abridged version written in a more modern English style, is the next best read to the original. From it, the reader can acquire the sense of the classic, the combination of terror with descriptions of the human Slovaks and Gypsies who worked for Dracula and allowed him to survive in human society. I have read the original Stoker book several times and have always preferred it to the simplistic caricatures of the Dracula movies. While this book is not as good as the original, it retains the spirit of the original far better than any movie possibly could.

Dracula for Younger Readers,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Starts: Dracula (Classic Starts Series) (Hardcover)
If your pre-teen needs encouragement reading, this book may be the answer. Well written and a popular genre, Dracula, the classic novel, is written for most likely 9-13 year boys and girls. Subject matter could be problematic for some children, but overall, the reader will benefit from the richly descriptive paragraphs and moderately challenging vocabulary.
