Helpful Score: 1
Interesting sequel by a relative of the author of the classic "Dracula", Bram Stoker. Violates some of Bram's "rules" for vampires, but explains discrepancies well.
However, it took me forever to read! I would whip through several chapters, then it just seemed to drag on and on, then whip through a few more, then drag again.

Includes supplementary material about how/why sequel was written, some history surrounding the original classic, etc.

Sequel to Bram Stoker's famous DRACULA. Written by Dacre Stoker, his great-grandnephew and Ian Holt. Starts slowly. Lots of information. I found myself skipping pages to find something to hold my interest. I suppose I anticipated more from it than it was able to deliver. 2.5 stars

Poorly done, got halfway through and stopped. Lots of explicitly described sex and violence, the writing was mediocre, and nothing in the book-characters, etc- really held my attention. I only got halfway through because I kept hoping that it would improve. Then I realized how far I'd read and that it was not going to get any better.

Story was a bit slow to take off but then it really started hitting its stride. I could easily envision this on the big screen with the cast of the 1992 version from Francis Ford Coppola.

As i neared the end, I realized I would like the story to go on and the authors did not fail to deliver the possibility of another installment.

This was a good read and actually followed the first story line well. I still love the original Dracula - no one can beat Bram Stoker, not even his great-grandnephew.

Pathetic excuse for a Dracula sequel. Gave it the extra 1/2 star because there were, at times, some cringe-worthy yet hilarious dialogue and plot twists.

A GREAT SEQUEL TO THE ORIGINAL DRACULA, CO WRITTEN BY A RELATIVE OF BRAM STOKER
reviewed Dracula: The Un-dead on + 42 more book reviews
This book tries to continue the Dracula story with many twist and turns. Some are good, others not so well, and the reader is left wondering why.

If you like Dracula stories, then this one may fit the bill. Otherwise, it is a nice summer read filled with violence.

This book had high expectations, but it fell flat. It had to many conveluted story lines. It was also unbelieveable, and that is saying something for fiction! That said, there were a few interesting moments.
