I love this book...
Maybe that should have been in caps.. I was going for subtle reverence... or something like that...
I am reading it through for the second time, and honestly, I am more into it this time around. I restarted it yesterday and have just ended Lincolns childhood years.
I love the setup of chapters and sections. It goes in order from Lincolns boyhood into his adult years, and ends with his presidency. Now of course we can't really commend this book for historical accuracy (if that is what you are looking for, this book is not for you), however, the cleverness with which this author presents his case, even in a believable way, is commendable. The book reads like a biography, but keeps the reader locked in with the efficiency of a fiction novel.
This book is clever and witty, but also poses some surprisingly applicable, thought provoking questions. It makes you think about the fleetingness of life and how our humanity contributes to our ambition.
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer has been adapted into a motion picture. I think it is great as well, however, as per usual, it is NOT as good as the book.
I would still appreciate comments and suggestions. Follow if you can!
Thanks,
-KC
