Abraham Lincoln- Vampire Hunter-- Book Review

Abe Lincoln lost his mother when he was nine years old. His mother died from an ailment called the "Milk sickness". Only later he did learn that his mother's deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect on Abe's father's unfortunate debts. When the truth became known to Abraham Lincoln , he wrote in his journal. "Henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall be learned in all things -- a master of mind and body.And this mastery shall have but one purpose." That purpose ? The Elimination of all vampires( Back of the book)


I found this to be a fast read. I felt I actually learned something about Abraham Lincoln and what an clever way to get millions of people to read Abraham Lincoln's Journal.


The introduction by Seth was funny and set this book to fun and interesting. I would love to meet Henry and hear his stories but alas, Henry lets read all about Abe's history.


I could picture Abe Lincoln being a Vampire Hunter. It told of his hunts and people he has meet along the way to becoming the President of the United States. I loved the quotes and hearing about Abe's relationships with friends and wife. I could feel his loss of his son's.


I did try reading his other book of Pride & Prejudice and Zombies. I think I had a tough time with this book because I had already read the original version. I'll have to try reading it again.

I already have a friend who wants to borrow this book, and another friend mentioned that it would be great for her son ( Teenager) to read this book.

This book comes out March 2, 2010 and this is my Honest Review and thanks to Grand Central for the book.
