‘The count wanted to buy a house in London and had hired Jonathan, a lawyer, to help him.’
I’ll write book review now. I read ‘Dracula’; this book is scary but very interesting for me. This book is written by Bram Stoker, and the book is illustrated by Victor Tavares. The pictures in this book are very realistic and the color is beautiful. This book is divided into chapter 1 to chapter 9. I talk about the subject matter of the book.
In chapter 1, main character was Jonathan. The count Dracula had sent him directions. A gaunt figure came to meet him, he was Count Dracula. He had sharp teeth revealing long. In chapter 2, Jonathan was shaving; the count was staring intently at Jonathan’s chin which felt a trickle of blood. And, he found one box, the count Dracula laid in the box. His face was twisted in an evil smile and his lips were stained with blood. Jonathan gasped ‘Help!’ and he was so terrified. In chapter 3, the main character was Mina who was Jonathan’s fiancée, and Lucy. She saw Lucy lying on the bench. Mina carried her home and she saw two pinpricks on Lucy’s neck. Lucy was bitted by the figure. In chapter 4, Jonathan was found on Mina’s town and she went to see him. Then, Lucy was very weak. In chapter 5, Lucy was strange, her eyes seemed hard and her lips were drawn, and she looked as if she had fallen asleep. But she was no longer breathing. In chapter 6, a funeral for Lucy was held. The professor told them ‘She was killed by a vampire.’ They decided to stop this evil from spreading. In chapter 7 and 8, a vampire could not bear garlic, or holy water, or the sign of the cross. In the last chapter 9, they finally came the day to fight Dracula. They reached to his castle. Jonathan plunged a stake deep into the vampire’ heart. He finally died, and they gave a cry.
This book is very long for me, but it is very interesting because I have been interested in vampire. I like the story such as horror fiction, so I was excited very much when I was reading this book. I know that Vampire don’t like garlic and a crucifix, but I don’t know they don’t like holy water. I learned a new thing! I think it awesome Jonathan, Arthur and the professor defeated the count Dracula, their determination was very brave. I want to study the vampire by this book, and want to know the history of vampire. I wonder actually that vampire exist in the world. I will study this fact from now!
