Journal Entry 3 by Colombina at Wuppertal, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Sunday, September 27, 2015
Thank you very much for your birthday greetings, the card, stickers and this wishlist book!
So finally one of my oldest wishes from the wishlist has come true :)!I love books that are a bit weird and I am looking forward to this one...
I wish you a wonderful autumn!
This book took me by surprise. I was expecting an implausible story, completely weird but maybe fun to read. What I found was a well-elaborated account of the life of Abraham Lincoln who, after his mother got murdered by a vampire, dedicated a big part of his life to hunting and killing vampires which also leaves an imprint on his political career as he soon discovers a strong link between slavery and vampires...
A story that is indeed completely weird but also disturbingly supported by quotations, old-looking drawings and photographs and maybe more convincing than one might wish because "vampire" seems to be such a good description for slaveholders.
The narrative contains too many detailed scenes of violence for my taste and the descriptions of fights were sometimes a little tedious but apart from this, I have found this novel hard to put down - fascinating, dark and often disturbingly realistic.
