Abraham Lincoln Vampire hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

.
Remember this book?
I purchased it a while ago because I was completely intriqued by the cover and reading about the author mashing up the original story.
Seth Grahame-Smith is a brilliant author.And right now I am reading another one of his books called Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.If you want to read what the story is about go HERE
(Spoiler allert!!!!!if you want to read the book yourself don't go there!spoiler allert!!!!!!!!!)


I have almost finished it in only two days(I am down with the flu and that is the only advantage to being sick,you get to read a lot of books and not feel guilty about doing absolutely nothing at all)
The story is brilliant.Seth Grahame-Smith makes us want to believe that one of the most famous of presidents of the United States was indeed a skilled vampire hunter.
He weaves facts and fiction brilliantly.It reads like a charm I haven't been able to leave the book for a minute.(This morning I had a doctor's appointment and went in with the book clutched under my arm....)
Now that being absolutely great news of course...it get's even better!
Tim Burton and Timor Bekmambetov are going to make it into a huge movie that will be in the cinema's 2012!
Burton and Bekmambetov being the directors already made my day but the news of my most favorite actor of all actors Rufus Sewell playing the bad vampire totally blew me away!
You all know how much I love vampires,and how much I love Rufus Sewell's work and now "The Roof" as a vampire*sigh* it just tops it all!
I can hardly wait for the movie....2012 seems sooooooo far away.They are filming in the French Quarter in New Orleans,the ultimate perfect stage for vampires...my gosh can this get any better????
Althoug I am not feeling to peachy right now because of the flu,my spirits are up way high because of all this.

Seth Graham-Smith is also going to be script writer for another vampire movie called Dark Shadows,(a re-make from the 60'ties-70'ties show) also by Tim Burton.Burton replaced his life long scriptwriter John August for Graham-Smith.I read that on Wiki

So that is it for now,I am back on the couch to finish the last few pages of the book (always a sad moment....)
Wishing you all a happy easter weekend!
