Count Dracula was wearing it! Jonathan wants to know what’s going on so he goes to the room of count Dracula. He climbs down with a curtain. When he’s in the room, he can’t believe that this is the room of Dracula, because it was very dusty. Jonathan goes down a stair and than discovers something terrible. Count Dracula is laying in a bow filled with earth. He has a red face and blood running down his mouth. Jonathan climbs back to his room and is afraid. Mina, the girlfriend of Jonathan and Lucy where on a holiday in Withby, when a strange ship arrived in the river. Mina woke up that night. The bed next to hers was empty. Lucy sat on a chair and with in her neck two little red marks. Lucy got weaker every day, and she also was getting paler. The doctor, Dr. Seward, a close friend of Lucy, went to check Lucy but couldn’t find anything ordinary, except the red marks, in Lucy’s neck. He knew just the man for these kind of unusual cases, Professor Van Helsing of Amsterdam. Van Helsing arrives the next day and goes to check Lucy, he doesn’t say much, but Seward sees that he didn’t wasted the time of Van Helsing. Van Helsing goes bask to Amsterdam, Every day; Seward sends a rapport about Lucy to Van Helsing. It’s getting better with Lucy. But than, one day Lucy was so bad that Seward asked Van Helsing, to come over and check on Lucy. Van Helsing gave Lucy blood from a young man. Lucy was getting better. The next evening, Van Helsing goes to the room of Lucy, with a box of flowers. He goes with them around the room and closes al the windows. He makes a necklace, and puts them around Lucy’s neck. The next day they went back to see Lucy, but Lucy’s mother had opened a window and thrown the necklace away. Van Helsing says to Seward that he must stay every night at Lucy’s place, and he had to do the same thing with the flowers as Van Helsing had done. Seward waked at Lucy’s for the next few days. One day a man, a patient of Dr. Seward, attacked him with a knife. Jack Seward wasn’t able to go to Lucy. Jack gives an order to one of his helpers. The helper had to go to Lucy and say her that she had to make the usual arrangements. The next day, Jack received a telegram from Professor Van Helsing. Jack had to be that night at Lucy’s stood in the telegram. But the telegram was delivered wrong so Jack didn’t receive the telegram the next morning. As fast as he could, Jack went to Lucy. No one answered the doorbell. Jack walked around the house. All the windows were closed, except for the window of the room, where the mother of Lucy slept. He heard a noise. It was Mr. Van Helsing. They went inside and found Lucy and her mother lying on the bed. They both looked pale. The servants were sleeping on the ground. Someone had put something in his Tea. Lucy was dying and her mother too. Lucy had a pale face and sharp teeth. Arthur kissed her and then she died. When Lucy’s funeral was over, their where more articles about little children who had disappeared and later found with also two red marks in their necks. The children were also pale and weak. Van Helsing says that Lucy had made these victims. They went to Lucy’s coffin and saw that there was no one in the coffin. They waited and after a long wait they saw someone carrying a child. That person ran away, but putted the child on the floor. They went back to the coffin of Lucy, and she was in it. The next day, they went back to the tomb. They where with two more man. Again, they saw a white shape with in her hands a small child. It was Lucy. She went back to her coffin; she had blood of the child on her mouth. Van Helsing made sure that she wasn’t able to escape. In the early morning, the men went back inside and opened the coffin. They drove a piece of wood through Lucy’s hart. They cut of her head and put garlic in her mouth. The next day, Jonathan and Mina returned. They went to Van Helsing. Jonathan tells him the story of Dracula. Van Helsing organises a gathering. Jonathan, Mina, Jack Seward and Arthur Holmewood were the invited. Van Helsing tells them that the evil, which they want to destroy, is only a hundred meters away. It’s in a house nearby. The men go that house. In the house are boxes. There is dust everywhere. Some of the boxes are gone to different places. The men kill all the vampires. Then, the men go and want to kill Dracula. In the hunt after Dracula, they go back to the castle in Transylvania. One night, when they are resting in a hotel, Dracula attacks Mina. Mina drinks the blood of Dracula. Mina will be a vampire too, if they don’t kill Dracula. They arrive just before Dracula. Van Helsing is the first who arrives. He guards Mina, who has almost become a vampire. The rest of the men arrive and they wait for Dracula. When Dracula arrives, is it day, so he is lying in his wooden box. They open the box, and drive a piece of wood through the hart of Dracula. They stood around the body of Dracula. They were able to kill Dracula just before it became night and Dracula would wake up. Mina recovered, and she was again the Mina that loved Jonathan. Own opinion: Dracula is an exiting book. There are some parts very exiting. I think, that when the men are killing Dracula, is the most thrilling part. It isn’t a difficult book to read because it isn’t so long. You can read it pretty fast. It got small chapters and the book doesn’t count more then 55 pages.
