This memoir written by writer, orator, and former slave Frederick Douglass describes, in gripping detail, the circumstances of his upbringing, his brutal treatment at the hands of slave-owners, and his narrow escape from Maryland to freedom. Written in 1845, this narrative is one of the most famous works of American literature and provided fuel for the abolitionist movement that began in the early 19th century.

While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years.

Reads like biography filled with profound depth

Would you consider the audio edition of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to be better than the print version?
I havent read the print version
Who was your favorite character and why?
Abraham Lincoln is my favorite character and he is protrayed as perhaps the greatest American that has ever lived.
Which scene was your favorite?
I do not have a favorite scene. What I really enjoyed his how the author wrote this as a biography but inserts some beautiful insight to Lincoln's thought process. I found gems in this books such as “The more precious His gift, the more anxious God for its return, ” or "I can see his soul, if he indeed had such a thing, departing. Bidding an unexpected frightful farewell to such a long long life. One undoubtfully filled with happiness and agony, struggle and success. Filled with moments to beautiful to share. To painful to recall. It was all ending now and he was so afraid. Afraid of what nothingness awaited him. Or worse, what punishment... and then he was gone." Great Writing!
If you could rename Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, what would you call it?
The American.
Any additional comments?
I can understand how history buffs can have a problem with rewriting history,especially when so much fact is interwined with fiction. However, this book is a brilliant novel of fiction.
