Book Review – Dracula Book Review – Dracula I was afraid of Reading English books, but 2 months ago, I decided to put an end in this fear and start to read some classics of English literature. I know that classics are harder than other kinds of books, but since I only read classics of Brazilian literature, I thought that would be easier start reading things of my interest. Dracula was the fifth English book that I decided to read, because as everybody knows it is one of the biggest classics of all times. The novel is divided into letters, journals and newspaper articles. Bram Stoker shows us a story of how the characters get to know Count Dracula and their fight against him. I will not tell the story, because I guess it is common sense. However, I would like to say my thoughts about its end. The way of the author chose to write the last pages is really concise and made me think about the differences between readers of each time. I would really recommend this book to every classic lovers and to vampire story lovers too.

I very much enjoyed Ulysses from James Joyce and the Epic of Gilgamesh, although the original is in Sumerian cuneiform script (which I evidently do not know). Also, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations from Charles Dickens is among my favorites. I would only recommend Shakespeare with a commentary or a translation to modern English, given that I myself personally cannot understand much of the original.
