   	This is pretty much not the Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, that I saw   
   on the screen, let alone the book version. What astounded me about AH,   
   VH was the amount of incredible historical detail, both personal to   
   Lincoln and more general, that was included to flesh out pretty much   
   everyone in the book.
