Excellent,
Tay
The reader speaks very clearly and the work is engaging!
Well read, but I prefer the other edition quite markedly
Timothy Ferguson
This is the 1912 edition of the book, which removes the horror ending and reworks it, so that its a sort of slightly sappy romance. Imagine if we got to the end of Sracula, but it was too horrible to make Stoker cash on reprints, so he rewrote it. Imagine in the new version Dracula committed suicide and everyone went home for cake. Seriously, it's a great read, but its a book that's been sabotaged by its author for commercial reasons. I'd really love it if the original reader would read the last chapter of the 1903 edition for a variant ending.
Great mystery until the end

I found this book very interesting. Who knows if Bram Stoker's explanations of Egypt are factual but they ARE interesting. The adventures and plans of the main characters were good. He builds up the excitement and has one imagining what will happen and then lets us fall to the floor. That ending was so bad. The narration was marvelous. I appreciate this reading by Mr. Melin, he has just the right pace and added to the mystery
Very good book!
