Unabridged???

Revisado: 04-12-04

Let?s keep it simple; this version has been heavily edited. Perhaps for content, perhaps to shorten it, whatever... I purchased this copy in order to read along with it for a Gothic Lit class I am taking in London, and was extremely disappointed. First off; there are major underlying themes completely missing. Entire paragraphs and even pages missing and most notable were those that detail Victorian attitudes toward women. I grew increasingly frustrated as I read and had to pause the audio at least once EVERY PAGE in order to read the missing parts. Second; Chapter nine is not even an excerpt from Dracula! It?s an entirely different chapter, from an entirely different book. (at least that was the case with the copy I downloaded) All in all it was disappointing to me, that some of the most interesting themes and attitudes were completely wiped out, and one can't help but think it was because they disagreed with an editor's feminist politics. If you are using this for a class, as I was, make sure you read along with it so you don't miss anything, and at the end don't be surprised when you"re left wondering: "Was that worth the 36 bucks I just spent on it?"
