Okay so you said the book isn't comical and it portrays history seriously, but does it make fun of the theme of the book? Is it still funny? Also, how bloody/violent is it?

[criticnic]

@HugFan well it has some dark humor. for me the thought of Abe chopping up vampires is itself funny, but yeah to me overall it took itself fairly seriously. it's been a while since I've read it, but it does go into graphic detail about the death scenes from what I remember.

Im just in part 2. So far so great. Makes me wanna read Pride Prejudice and Zombies, which Wikipedia says Natalie Portman is interested in doing.

[criticnic]

@Childrenscneterh yeah I wanna check out Pride as well..that's interesting about Natalie Portman :)

Im just in part 2. So far so great. 

[criticnic]

@Childrenscneterh cool, I don't think the ending will let you down.

Question: are the photos in the book photoshopped

[megamrmovieman]

I just started Part 3.

Awesome book

I loved this book. Abraham Lincoln was my favorite historical character and this was a great twist on his life. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was my first book to read in this genre and I liked it so much that I grabbed up all the other books in the genre. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was my latest and most favorite purchase.

@hbkryme yeh he would be cool,but in this story,Abe is a young man,Liam Neeson mayby a little old.

Benjamin Walker has been cast as Lincoln. I think he's a great actor, he'll do fine.

[Childrenscneterh]

Just finished and the only part that pissed me off was the bodyguard. Henry should've hung him by his nuts as he drained him.

if i had to pick someone to play Abe in the movie......by far Liam Neeson
