Katelyn Poniatowski Professor Kanicki English 212 18 November 2013 Dracula Film and Movie Comparison Most anyone will say that a book is always better than a movie. This is simply due to the fact that it is impossible to fit every detail that a book can hold into a two-hour long movie. I was beyond surprised to discover that this was not the case when comparing Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel and Bram Stoker’s Dracula the movie. I found myself preferring the movie rendition.
