A tale that in one way or another we're all familiar with so I won't bother to go into the storyline but I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the style it was written in. Switching between various diaries, news articles and letters this tale was told in more voices than I had thought and that helped keep what could of been at times a plodding story fresh. Listening to the audiobook narrated by John Lee he did a good job in keeping the various voices distinct and easy to follow.
Mina Harker is a great character, while some of the others failed to impress me it's no wonder Helsing has become a legend. For such a dramatic (and lengthy build-up) I did find the end slightly anticlimactic but very enjoyable none the less.
