The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“I quite enjoy the way Seth Grahame-Smith takes the bizarre unexplainable parts of history and creates explanations that fit into his universe. The whole thing reads simply as though it were a biography on Lincoln and if it weren't for the occasional vampire you wouldn't think otherwise.”
“This is a good book, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. It reads like a dry biography as a standard chronology of Lincoln's life, just with vampires. I expected a much more action packed read, more thriller than documentary. That's not…”
