An Audio Book in Review: Abraham Lincoln : vampire hunter

Abraham Lincoln : vampire hunter By:Seth Grahame-Smith
fiction: paranormal, history

This is a book by the same person that wrote " Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". In this book we learn that Lincoln's mother was really killed by a vampire and from that time on he set out to kill them. In this book the whole civil war was really about vampires as slaves were used as food for the vampires that wanted to make America a vampire country. It was well written, but there were 2 things about it that bugged me, one which might just be do to it being an audio book. The first issue is that the story starts with the story of a writer who works at a small store. He is giving the journals of Lincoln in order to write a book about what is in them. This story fades away as the book goes on and is never picked up again. The second issue is that random sounding numbers are said a the start of different chapters, it isn't the chapter number and it doesn't seam to be noting which journal the story is from, it might be something that is easier to understand in the book format, or it could be something I missed the explanation on as I was driving while listening to it. But besides this, much like the other book by this author, if you didn't know better you would think that this was the actual story of Lincoln.
