I read this book a few years ago while I was in a reading slump. I started it one February weekend at the lake and finished it exactly one year later on the same weekend. With little chapter reads in between.
Maybe that' why it felt like a long read to me but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.
The details of the history of Abraham's life amazed me. And the battles he fought were fantastically written. At some points I couldn't get enough.
At others, however, I was extremely bored.
I loved pretty much everything until he became president. All of the battles he was in with the vampires and how he found love. How he lived and his friend Henry who taught him a lot of the things he knew about vampires.
Henry was probably my favourite character in the whole book actually.
Some of the characters I would get messed up because there became a point where I couldn't differentiate between a few of them. So I'd have to go back and remember which one was which a couple times. Though, I think that's just because I read this over such a long period of time.
I gave it a 4 stars on goodreads although it's more of a 3.5 star rating.
A great read but not one of my favourites.

I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.
Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
