Why are you people putting this down? It's by the guy who wrote Pride and Prejudiced, and Zombies. I heard that was highly entertaining and hilarious. This could be too. I love the outrageous premises. Sounds original and funny. Hey, at least its not a remake or a sequel, right?

even though the book was surprisngly very good- i say to wait a long time. Steven Speilberg's Abraham Lincoln movie, STARRING DANIEL DAY LEWIS, will be all the honest Abe' i need

Since everybody here that has read the book seems to like it. I might read it. I've never heard of it but it sounds good.

the book is very good. and i can see this as a neat fun little movie. the way he treats vampires is pretty much the way he treated the south during the war of northern aggression.

Yes the book is awesome. They originally had Tom Hardy but he dropped out due to The Dark Knight Rises.
