Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Part III and Final Review: President

Sorry for the delay.  Thanks to everyone who came out to the meeting in Ladysmith on Saturday.  We had a bloody good time!

This post contains the review for Part III of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and thoughts on the book as a whole.  If you haven't finished reading the book, read ahead at your own peril.

Reminders

Just a couple of quick reminders this week!

First, if you haven't done it already, tomorrow is the LAST day to vote for our book in May.  The poll to do so is just to the right of this post. The race is really tight. Your vote could make the difference!

Second, our time with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is coming to an end.  I will be posting the final review and discussion questions this Saturday at 1pm.  This coincides with our in-person meeting at the Ladysmith Branch.  If you can make it, please come out and join us for discussion and lots of really great food!  We'll be meeting in the meeting room from 1 - 3 pm.  Hope to see you there!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Part II Review: Vampire Hunter

Just like the last post, if you haven't already read Part II, be warned.  Spoilers ahead.

New Trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

If you've seen The Hunger Games in theaters, then you may have seen this new trailer for our book- Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.  It's got a lot more action than the last trailer and it makes me so excited for the movie to come out.  Enjoy!

Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter Part I Review: Boy

As this review will discuss plot points in the first part of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, there is a big, ol' Spoiler Alert on the following blog post.  If you haven't finished reading this section, you continue at your own peril.  If you don't want to be spoiled, stop reading here and watch the trailer for the movie version of AL:VH.

Our First Book- Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

 The first Virtual Book Club selection is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith.  Grahame-Smith first burst on to the literary scene with his re-write of a classic Jane Austen novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  The re-writes continue as he takes on the subject of our 16th president, but with the addition of vampires instead.  Equal parts humor and history and about to become a major motion picture, it will be a great first pick for our book club!

Since the book is already divided into three sections, we'll be using them as natural divisions for our reading schedule.  I'll be posting the reviews for each section on the following days:

• Part I: Boy (Chapters 1-4)- March 27th
• Part II: Vampire Hunter (Chapters 5-9)- April 10th
• Part III: President and the book as a whole- April 21st

April 21st is also the date of the in-person meeting if anyone would like to attend.  We'll be meeting in the meeting room of the Ladysmith branch from 1 to 3pm.

Happy reading!
