Critiques
Not bad
mikezane
I guess I am not a Bram Stoker fan. The story doesn't really draw me in, I found myself listening just to hear how it ended. Some of the recordings are a bit rough; you can improve them with the equalizer. The quality noticeably improves the closer to the end of the book, so if you are a Stoker fan, go for it. I just felt the story itself was somewhat of a disappointment.
Wasted potential...
A LibriVox Listener
The story has some potential but it is wasted because Stoker gave his plot a rather slow pace and dwells in stereotypical descriptions of the English countryside, Africans etc.

Readers were exceptional. I enjoyed the actual slow burn story.
Okay

The narrators were fine. The story was just kind of silly.
nice read

would encourage reader to do more. Such as Victor Hugo, Churchill, Pope.
