The Book or The Movie?
As a fellow movie-goer, it all depends on perspective. If you want to see a Dracula movie, don't read the books. It will come off as a tacky and not a real adaption or translation of the book. The book did start a new genre of vampires in literature in the modern world. In respect to the Twilight Saga,
the movies were definitely better than the novels. The main character can drone on and on about nothing, when all you want is the action you can see in the movies. But in a book-to-movie movie, it's best the book stays true to the movie, even an adaptation.
Remember to support all of your statements. It is crucial to answer the "why" question. You say, "if you want to see a Dracula movie, don't read the books. It will come off as a tacky and not a real adaption or translation of the book." How do you know this? Can you provide evidence? Give specific examples? What do you mean by tacky? I think you start to make good points, people like action, books can be verbose. However, your commentary is underdeveloped. Tell me more? I'm intrigued.
