It annoyed me a lot that the men were all so protective of Mina that they wouldn't tell her anything, but in some ways I wonder if Stoker was having a little joke because it messes up their plans a bit.

Even though the men around her are all trying to shield her, I think she (for the most part) does a pretty good job of standing up for herself.

I think this is one I'll definitely be recommending to my kids when they grow up a little, too -- I think it has a lot of potential to appeal to teens.

I really loved the epistolary/journal style and the language, and I admired how craftily Stoker put the story together. But there were too many things that annoyed me (attitude towards women, religious superstition, xenophobia, looking down on the poor) that I couldn't enjoy the book as a whole.
