Those reviews that advance the idea that this book was not properly edited are utterly unfair. It seems the original book detailed how the main character met by chance every single one of the destinataries of the 1454 other books printed by Dracula. That brought him to 145 countries in the world (it seems the chapters where he travels to Burkina Fasso were particularly riveting). The book had to be trimmed down from its original 50,000 pages to the mere 650 it contains today.
