I was completely underwhelmed to be quite honest. The plot moves so slowly, and way too much of the book is dedicated to the various characters talking about why the other characters are so awesomely virtuous and admirable. The book finally picks up a little towards then end, but the final showdown with Dracula... wow.. That's it? Really? the book just kind of ends with a thud.
The Penguin edition was good because it had extensive end notes that explained some of the archaic language and gives some additional background. I ended up using two bookmarks while I read -- one for the main story, and another in the notes section.
