I admit it. I watched the trailer for the movie, and was sucked in by its thrilling Hollywood-ism. It's no wonder that fans of macho movies are then disappointed by the book. It is not overly thrilling. Not even very exciting, if I'm being honest. But wow. Just... wow. 
 This is probably the best researched book I have EVER read! Seth Grahame-Smith has officially blurred the lines between fact and fiction to the point that even I am fooled. It has been written in biography format, taking quotes from Abraham Lincoln's "lost journals". Out of burning curiosity, I found myself repeatedly running to the computer to find out the history behind the story, and discovered that they differ as little as possible. I love how Grahame-Smith was able to weave a plausible vampire story. 
 I highly recommend this book for history buffs, and vampire fans alike. You'll find yourself nodding your head, shaking your head, and, of course, googling Lincoln.
