 Interesting Concept; Flawlessly Executed! (Pun Intended) Mar 05, 2010
By K and A
When Pride and Prejudice and Zombies came out I was skeptical, but I read and thoroughly enjoyed the book, I particularly liked the retelling and the concept in general appealed to me. I purchased Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter for my kindle and liked it so much that I also got a hardcover edition. As with other reviewers, I agree that this book is a good read. It is an interesting concept that is flawlessly executed (pun intended).
The author clearly went the distance to create a plausible melding of vampire mayhem and history. It was well researched and the history was on target. I was pleasantly surprised at just how good this book was. In this case the title is accurate, this isn't a textbook account of President Lincoln's life, so take it for what it is: a fun read. As a an avid history and horror reader, I really enjoyed this work and I look forward to see what the next project that Seth Grahame-Smith is going to come up with.

 Honest Abe's Secret Life: Another Monster Mash-Up In A Seemingly Endless Supply Mar 02, 2010
By K. Harris
"Film aficionado"
After defiling Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" with flesh eating zombies, what was Seth Grahame-Smith to do next? Why, of course, he tackles an unexposed and super secret chapter in American history. Yes--"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" exposes the little known truth about our sixteenth President. From his humble beginnings through to the bitter end, it seems that Lincoln's clandestine and very personal mission was to preserve the American way from the most unrelenting of enemies--the bloodsucker. Charted from Lincoln's own diaries, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is a surprising and revelatory memoir that just might change how the history books chronicle the Civil War.
All right, none of that is true. Grahame-Smith does tackle the noble Lincoln in this horror mash-up--and while the result is undeniably readable, it lacks the cleverness of his previous hit "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Part of "Zombies" allure was the strict adherence to Jane Austen's text in revamping (no pun intended--oh, who am I kidding?) an unlikely classic for horror aficionados. The problem with "Zombies," however, is that many modern horror readers lacked the patience for Austen's prose. What I thought made the novel inspired is the same aspect that alienated much of its intended audience. No such problems with the straightforward text of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" which is a fast and engaging read. And bonus points for the photographic evidence that document the inconvenient truth.
But as the conceit is that the story is derived form Lincoln's own journals, the tone may strike as too matter of fact for those looking for a quick thrill. I, personally, enjoyed that this subject matter was presented in a serious manner. It was a tad unexpected given the silliness of the plot--but it was unconventional. Grahame-Smith's greatest achievement is making a surprisingly strong link between vampirism and slavery. I don't know that he wasn't on to something there! Ultimately, though, I question whether "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" strikes the right balance for its audience. Neither comical nor particularly horrifying, its quiet pleasures may be a bit too subtle to make it a smash hit of "Zombies" stature.

Fantastic historical fiction, thats actually more heavily historical Dec 28, 2010
By Brian Long
"Brian"
I must hand it to Seth Grahame-Smith. He's not only managed to trick most of the current generation into reading classics by adding the word "zombies" to the title, but he's also managed to illuminate the actual upbringing of our 16th president by simply throwing in a few macroed scenes involving vampires, against a backdrop that actually works startlingly well.
The best part of this novel is the simple fact that it's completely based on fact. His scattershot upbringing, his law practice and political involvement, even the murder of his grandfather by an Indian raid, all flow seamlessly together while being gripping and entertaining. Only certain aspects are even distorted, such as he only disliked his father as opposed to loathed him.
Interspersed with what is for all intents and purposes is a presidential biography is the "true" history of Lincoln's upbringing. That his mother and grandfather were murdered by vampires, and that, after being tutored in the finer points of hunting them by Henry, a vampire and Lincoln's close friend, uses the various events of his life as a cover for trailing and killing monsters, all the while aware of a growing plot to expand slavery to the northern states, pushed by vampires, in order to give them a near limitless, and uncared for, food supply.
Overall, a fantastic story that's also a great read for a very light biography of his life. If only every other president could so easily be novelized, there would be far more presidential historians about.

Wow. Surprisingly Great. Mar 02, 2010
By montel delicioso
I read an early ARC of this and was very surprised by how good it is. Even if your eyes roll at the title, give it a shot...it will win you over. It's unexpectedly deep and dark, and never acknoweldges at all that it is a joke. And, I just heard Doris Kearns Goodwin (!) on the radio giving this book her stamp of approval. Very highly recommended!

Surprisingly good Jul 07, 2010
By Nelaine Sanchez
"All About {n}"
Seth Grahame-Smith does a fantastic job of combining fact and fiction while telling the "TRUE" story of Abraham Lincoln.
Through Abe's journal entries we are able to follow his life as he discovers and fights vampires and how these events shaped his life and history as we know it. The story begins with Abe's childhood through his assassination at the Ford Theatre. I know readers will be shocked to learn just how much influence vampires had over the development of the United States, and even over Abe himself.
I truly enjoyed how Mr. Grahame-Smith gave us a new version to historical events... making it almost believable that, yes, vampires were somehow behind them. The Civil War, The Union... none of these things will mean the same thing once you are done reading this book.
Although I was a bit speculative about this book at first, I really think it was done very cleverly and in the end I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. My only complaint would be that the book ended rather abruptly. I'm not sure if maybe there is the hope of a sequel... I can also envision it becoming a movie. Oh yes, I can see it's appeal. Also, I do want to mention that it was gory - blood, guts and decapitations all over the place - but it was expected. This book is certainly NOT for the light of heart or those who become faint at the mention of blood.
This was an audiobook (my first) and I enjoyed it. Considering the nature of the story, I found Scott Holst's voice soothing. I think he also did a great job in changing his voice to emphasize tones and accents in the different characters. They also played this great bluegrass music at the beginning and end of each CD. I'll definitely be checking out more audiobooks in the future.
