I am a german native speaker and I read this in English. I find it super easy to understand, even the dialects with a few research are understandable. It's super interesting, it's an absolutely page turner and it is with Rebecca my new favourite in the genre of classics.

danger, death & drama

What a ride! The characters, the story and of course the drama make this book an unforgettable classic. Is it too long? Yes. Is it still worth reading? Oh, hell yes! From creepy horror elements to delicious vampiric bloodsucking action – you will find it all inside these pages. We accompany our five male heroes: the husband, the psychiatrist, the fiancé, the American and the foreign monster hunter expert, as they stumble through a plot they are completely unable to understand, until their guarding angel, purity of womanhood, damsel in distress and goodness incarnated aka Mina Harker assesses the situation for about three seconds and delivers the long-elusive solution without stepping on the brave men’s toes. The way they worship this woman is something I did no expect to read in a 130 year old classic written by a man. I also did not expect a woman to have a leading role without being the love interest. And the Count is just everything you could ever wish for in a villain: evil, sinister, with no moral compass whatsoever and a penchant for spectacular performances. I love this man.
