This book is going to have a difficult time finding fans, which is a shame. For people that haven't read Stoker's version, this book likely won't make sense. The author depends on the reader's familiarity with the original to understand and appreciate this updated version. At the same time, the author needs the reader to have read Stoker but not been a huge fan. For those people, this book would feel like a poor copy filled with flaws and changes that made would upset them.I'm the perfect audience, however. I read the original, liked it wnough to finish it but didn't see it as a wondrous piece of writing. I like novelty and found this to be a fun quirk on a old story. The blurb sounded awesome again, and again I was tempted by the cover and blurb. Gah, I really shouldn't, but I can't resist. Sadly, the book just wasn't my thing. While I liked the fact it was a bit different from most books, instead of story told in the normal way, we got the story through texts, mails and browsers screen shots. Sadly, the story was absolutely bleh. I felt for Jonathan at the beginning, but as soon as I found out he was having sex with other girls while in relationship with the one awesome character Mina, I was pissed. I also felt like it just didn't fit with the story, but hey, I guess we had to kill one (not saying who) and get the other to have a few affairs so that Mina and that Hellsing boy could get together. *rolls eyes* So cliché and so not for me.Also, seriously one of your guys comes back totally deranged, scared and sick and you just send someone else in his place? What the hell? But 1 star for the original story telling (text/mails), but yes, sadly nothing else was a plus for me.
What do You think about IDRACULA (2000)?
Kind of interesting, written in a neat way.I wish it would've been longer and less predictable.

Eh, it was okay. If I hadn't gotten it so cheap, I probably never would have picked it up.
