First of all i like the style of the newspaper clipping from Mina's Journal. So far i enjoy Bram Stokers style of novel as it flips from journal to letter to newspaper clipping.
I think that the novel is becoming more mysterious each time, this chapter i found was more horror then the gothic genre for the reason that ghosts and death are mentioned alot. Dog's were mentioned alot in this chapter could this relate to the were wolves that Jonathan harker saw?
Also the ships log mention of a man that fits Draculas description could that be him? if so why was he there and isnt it coinsedental that this occured near to where Mina lives?
I enjoyed this chapter as there was alot of drama happening all of the time.

Chapter 6
From this chapter i really like Minas character. I like the way she describes her surounding and the people around her she also seems to care alot as she is worried about her friend and her problems. She finally mentions Jonathan and is worried about him as he has only contacted her once which she dosnt think was actually him
The gothic genre is this time refferd to with the talk of myths and legends of grave stones and killings relating to this Doctor Sewards diary was quite strange with the talk of spiders and flies im not really sure what to think of him yet, he clearly loves Lucy but im not sure as to what he is going to persue with her and her lover.

Letter's
I didn't particular enjoy this chapter as it was completely off of the main story which i was currently into I'm aware it does have a purpose for the novel but I'm not particularly sure how it has yet. Jonathan was hardly mentioned in the letters and I'm not sure why the main character was Lucy in this chapter instead of Mina.
It did not fit into the Gothic genre but instead the romance genre which is quite a good change. My favourite part of this chapter was the last two letter wrote by the two men as it causes suspense as we are not sure what they are doing.
I also liked the fact that the style has been changed to letters instead of a journal and that the other characters are now involved with the novel. We have found out more information about Mina from the two letters she had sent to Lucy understanding her character and role in the novel.

Chapter 5 - Jonathan Harkers Journal (continued)
I really enjoyed this chapter as there was a lot happening especially as Jonathan has realised exactly who and what Dracula is. I liked the part when the mother was screaming for her child as it truly shows what Dracula is capable of and also the fact that Jonathan was given the chance to leave but Dracula obviously had other plans.
Another good thing about this chapter it truly portraits the Gothic genre for example the wolves, the blood, the coffin and a dark dingy room. I like how the author has made Jonathan angry by Dracula being asleep but he still has an expression on his face as to say laughing at Jonathan.
I'm not particularly sure how Jonathan is going to escape from the room and how the story is going to carry on. I'm starting to actually enjoy reading the book and look forward to finding out how he is going to escape.
