Has anyone read this? I would really like to know what possible reason someone might have for reading the novelization of a screenplay of Stoker's Dracula (other than to compare it to Stoker). I mean, a derivation of a derivation? What's the point? Why not just read Stoker's?
It seems like using Google Translation to translate Dracula into another language and then back into English and reading that, only pointless.

This sort of thing annoys me. I remember when the most recent film version of Little Women was released. A "novelisation" soon followed. To which my reaction was, "Jeez, guys, there's already a novel!"
