Here it is!

Thank you, Sophie :)

You’re welcome :D

Let's start then.

Is it me, or it's a really dumb idea to justify Dracula's actions by saying that he had a child-brain? He learned languages, customs of the England, prepared all the papers to move to England. He is hundreds years old, and he hadn't figured out what he was and what he could do.

I agree with you on that it all depends. In case of Dracula, I think the author explained rather too much. As for irrationality of Dracula himself, you'll understand it when you have read the story.
I definitely would recommend reading it. Even though there is not much mystery, about vampires and all that, it's still pleasant to read, interesting to follow the characters and how they go about the problems.
I would also recommend Dracula's Guest. This is a removed chapter from Dracula, which was published later as a short story. And also Carmilla, which inspired Bram Stoke on writing Dracula. You'll find between these stories a lot of parallels.

However, the ending seems too rushed and feels a bit off, as if it was also condensed
