Ick, there were really very few of these "letters" that were worth reading. Toward the end they really got bad (and I wasn't sure that was possible) There are typos in the book and that always bothers me since they have to proofread these books several times before publication. In any case, I had an expectable of the realistic fiction of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer, I mean I know it is fake, but it should read as if it were real. This was not believable and really just not entertaining.
