I like a little sugar in my tea, a smidgen of cheese on that cracker, some garnish on a salad (but not too much) and ... (running out of food metaphors)... something novel in a novel.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Things I really liked about this book:
- It was well written.
- It was original.
- Abe Lincoln was a badass with an axe.
- Vampires were, well, vampires – most of whom ended up on the wrong end of said axe.
- Edgar Allan Poe had a cameo.
- It is completely ridiculous in the best possible sense of the word.
Things I didn't like about this book:
- The fact that it was the progenitor of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter The Movie. It may be completely unfair to make any judgement of a book based on its film adaptation but I don't care. I want those two hours back and I want my previously, untarnished memory of this book back too.
My recommendation: Read the book, do not watch the film (in fact bury the DVD in the garden so it cannot make it back into circulation).
