HILARIOUS!
I got this book as a gift from a friend who is a huge history buff and knows that I love anything about vampires. I started reading it thinking that it wasn't really going to like it, I'm not usually into anything even remotely related to historical fiction, even such obvious satire as this. But once I got started I really wanted to know what happened to good ol' Abe and how fighting vampires worked into his life as I knew it from school. It was a really enjoyable read and I will never again think of Abraham Lincoln the same way again. I really learned some stuff about Lincoln to which I guess is a plus.
Not sure what I make of this one yet....the perspectives provide a very conservative view of what constitutes the "right" values. For example this book complains that we are losing values by allowing the curriculum in schools when they start teaching about more contemporary texts rather than adhering to Shakespeare and To Kill a Mockingbird. Interesting but doesn't anyone else wonder if there aren't great contemporary writers that students could relate to and identify with current social issues today? I have been asking the questions as of late so I am doing some research.
