I love it when I can say "I read the book" way before the rest of the world first discovers it in movie form.
The book will be hard to top (You WILL Believe!) but I think Tim Burton (although I am not usually his biggest fan) will do a bang-up job on this one. While staying true to Lincoln's actual history - I know because I followed up by reading Bill O'Reilly's "Killing Lincoln" - this story injects a secret life to an Abraham Lincoln we never knew.
Caution - SPOILER!!
The book ends with Lincoln still "alive" today. If this is true, I'm pretty sure I saw him on the NBA basketball court ;-)
Can't wait until Friday when it's in theaters!
