- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think this is a great way to get young readers to experience the classics. While a lot of the story is cut out to make it fit into one graphic novel it still has enough there to grab onto. The idea to make classics into graphic novels is ingenious as it will surely draw people in and it seems that then they will be more likely to read the original format of the book. It’s done that to me, it also makes me want to watch the movie version of the book again as well. I like the artwork better in this graphic novel than in many others I’ve seen aimed at the younger crowd. I didn’t have any problem following along or remember who was who as each character was drawn distinctly different.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I could my recommend this book more! I loved the artwork and the story was fantastic! I would give it more than five stars if I could
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this book a boy old girl and an old man are driving, but the men don't know that the driver is Count Dracula. The girl does but before she can mention it he changes into the monster. Dracula tries to kill the boys family but friends help him destroy count Dracula.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The graphic novel version of the book that started our fascination with vampires--Bram Stoker's Dracula, originally publishd in 1897. The classic novel is absolutely worth reading in its entirety, but it's not an easy read. Michael Mucci's graphic version captures the thrills and chills of the original while making this classic accessible to readers of all ages. The illustrations are gorgeous and detailed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I would never consider a graphic novel adaptation a substitute for the book, but this was definitely a great supplement. The story was very close to the original. There were very few embellishments and I was happy with the events that were included. The order in which things happened was changed a little, but always in a way I felt preserved the heart of the original while streamlining the story. I liked this much better than my first experience with a graphic novel, perhaps because knowing the story already erased any difficulty I might have following a story in this format. Finally, the drawing. It was perfect! Just cartoony enough, but not over the top except for the occasionally resemblance of the Count to Cruella de Vil. The color was also fantastically well done. As long as you’re not going to be bothered by the occasional small change or embellishment, I would highly recommend this to any fans of the original novel.
This review first published on Doing Dewey. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Summary:Estate agent Jonathan traveled to Transyvania to meet with his new client Dracula. After Johanthan stay at Dracula's castle, he ends up in a hospital. Meanwhile, something evil in larking in England. Dracula sets his eyes on Johnathan's fiance, Marie. After Marie was biting by Dracula, Marie becomes a vampire and has senses that allow her to know Dracula's whereabouts. Dr Helsing wants to put Dracula's evil intentions to rest, so he teams up with Marie and Johnathan in hopes to destroy Count Dracula. With the help of Marie locating Dracula, Dr Helsing and Jonathan are able to defeat Dracula.Personal Reaction:I really did not like this book. First, I had hard time reading it and found myself reading some of the lines more then once. Second, I am not very thrilled about reading horror stories. But, I think this book will be very appealing to third graders who are into spooky stories.Classroom Extension:1. I would have each student create their own graphic nobel.2. I would have a class discusion about dislikes and likes about graphic nobles.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5SUMMARY:English estate agent Johnathan Hacker went to Transylvania to meet a potential new client, the Count Dracula. During his journey, Hacker had all the warnings given to him by an old lady. He was also given a rosary for protection. On his way to Dracula's castle, his luggages were placed on another carriage and driven by a mysterious driver. Hacker was ignorant of the dangers which lain ahead. During his stay, he noticed strange things happening. His journal was his only refuge. He longed for his fiance Marie. Eventually he fell from the castle while exploring it.Marie's friend Lucky was bitten by Dracula who was a vampire. She later died. Dr Van Helsing had discovered this when he was asked to investigate the matter. Then Dr. Helsing with his team set out to solve the mystery. Meanwhile,Johnathan Hacker was hospitalised because he was discovered. He too began to work with Dr.Helsing to kill Dracula. They discovered Dracula's castle and destroyed it.

In the end, Johnathan Hacker, stabbed Dracula with a knife in his heart. Dracula died and Marie was brought back to her human form.PERSONAL:This graphic novel was interesting. The illustrations were clear.This is age appropriate for grade 6 and up.Boys are particular interested in this kind of graphic art/comic.CLASSROOM:The teacher will allow the students to form literature circles to discuss and ask questions about the novel.They will come as groups of threes, think of a topic and prepare a story and use graphic arts and bubble speech to tell the story.
