This is a discussion on "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" in the Novels & Stories forum.
I recently gave this book a try, but I'm not sure that it lived up to my expectations. I enjoy alternate history/SF books, especially those by Harry Turtledove (his Guns of the South and Atlantis series are very good.
Vampire Hunter was a fun read, for sure. It made me giggle in that it was so serious that it obviously did not take itself seriously.
What do you guys think--did it live up to the hype?
what hype?
Well, a lot of book reviews were talking about how great, clever, witty, hilarious, and exciting the book would be.
I haven't read it. I did read some of the hype about it early on, and have almost picked it up a few times, but not yet. I'll check out the movie, I'm sure.

You, too, can get a copy of Lorelei and the Lost and Found Monster from Amazon.com.
It's out in cinemas soon too D:
I did kind of like the book. It was really funny although I'm not sure it was meant to be. heh
Yeah, I kind of got that idea too, Tasha. I just assumed that it was tongue in cheek, over the top serious in a way that was meant to be funny.
I'll still go see it because I love a good laugh. Wonder if the book will ever get a sequel? In the end it was a good read and iI certainly won't look at Lincoln the same way again lol.
Well the trailer was pretty awful.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
I liked it up until the end when Sturges turns Lincoln into a vampire.
Na I'm sorry he is a relative of mine and I dislike people messing with my families history.
Won't be seeing the movie either.
