Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
I guess in celebration of the movie coming out, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter audiobook was on sale for US$5.95 on iTunes.
...
I should have known better, I really should. To some degree, it may have been better if it had not been an audiobook. For instance, I've been looking for audiobooks read by Alan Rickman or Tim Curry. Instead, whomever was reading this book would break halfway into a "Pepperidge Farm remembers!" tone of voice for Abe whenever something had to be read in character.
But, more than that, the book makes poor use of a couple of decent ideas, either by glossing over them, or bringing them to bear too late.
I'd started off pretty excited about the movie, and now I'm not particularly hopeful there.
