As he was about and what methods he applied for (the famous ax of the "rail splitter" about), author Seth Grahame-Smith linked interesting and innovative in many places with the secured tradition of life of "Old Abe". The story lives on the good idea that underlies the novel. The framework of the events described is entertaining and in many places appears the statement that at one point or another Vampire have encroached into machinery of American history, quite plausible. Unfortunately it is not possible Grahame-Smith to fill this framework with the power and love that is inherent to its basic idea. As with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance-indeed Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem (Quirk Classics) fascinated by the thought that creepy and secret characters in the background exert influence. Unfortunately, the story is too lengthy in many places and get to descriptive. The biggest wow factor I had actually been reading the book description. What happens between the covers of a book, comes as no longer ran.
Clear: In any event in Lincoln's life, the declaration with the vampires in the background does not apply. That does not mean that every event, to which the Declaration is applicable, must be absolutely recovered. A few bigger jumps, a few longer breaks would have been good for the dramaturgy. This example would have less arguments with vampires can be described this but then but all the more intense. The wonderful basic idea would thus not lost.
What remains is a beautiful crossover for all those who are interested in the history of the United States, the vampire stories disenchanted with something and have a soft spot for well-designed conspiracy. What the next novel by Grahame-Smith (Washington the werewolf? Franklin and the aliens?) May like to be added, are better dialogue, exciting action scenes and a little less linear course of the narrative.
