   The movie is much better than the book.  Actually, I listened to it as   
   an audiobook...I have one of my characters making a reference to the   
   movie--that's why I listened to it...it's not something I recommend.   
   In the novel, there are two factions of vampires, and one of them is   
   called "The Union."  Lincoln and Seward are The Union's puppets, and   
   after they get into office, they have no ideas of their own, and the   
   book gets expository.
