This graphic novel is just the thing to get young readers to read the classics. I read Dracula many years ago and loved it. This edition was a perfect way to introduce it to my teenagers. They enjoyed the drawings as they read the story. I definitely would recommend this book.

I am really enjoying these graphic novel adaptions of the classics. They are great for a refresher or high school student who's having trouble reading the original text.

'Dracula (Dover Graphic Novel Classics)' is a faithful adaptation of the novel told in graphic novel format. As a bonus, all the art is presented black and white so that it can be colored.
It's all here. The creepy castle and creepier Count Dracula. The Harkners, Van Helsing and Renfield. The dark and tragic death. The race to the castle to stop the Count and save one of his victims. There are things left out, of course, because it's only 48 pages long, but for about $4, you get a good adaptation and some great art you can color.
Of the three of these I've recently read, this one, due to the nature of the story, is a bit on the darker side. Most people will know of these stories, but just know these are not children's adaptations of the stories, so shop accordingly. But of the three I've read, this one had some great pictures to color. Dracula's three concubines. A graveyard in a church. A train. The adaptation and art by John Green has been great in all these, but I especially liked this one.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I enjoyed this graphic adaptation of Dracula very much. Having read the original novel several years ago, this version didn't omit anything important from the story. It hit all the main story beats and expressed them clearly and easily. This format should help convince young readers to give it a try and to stick with it without being hung up on antiquated language. My only problem is with the art. It is very good and solid art but would benefit from some coloring and or use of shadows. A story such as this with its gothic horror would benefit from some shadowing and shading in the art. Otherwise I found this Graphic Novel to be most enjoyable to read.

Enjoyed very much! Kept the Story line going. If you are a lover of Comics and Graphic Novels you will surely enjoy this quick read. The art is good and well detailed.

The story is abridged to fit the length, the format, and the intended audience of children 8 and up, but it retains the meat of the story. I love the clean artwork that makes the images easy to understand but also enables them to be colored in by the reader. What a great way to further immerse yourself in the story, express your creativity, or practice for a career in comics!
