“Overall your reveiw was intelligent and thorough. We have to remember however horror novels are not textbooks of theology. In Coppola's 1992 Dracula adaptation with Gary Oldman, Vlad renounces God also and is rendered a vampire. I found Rae's novel to be a delightful rendering of what was known previously as alternate history and maybe not true to the actual facts. That's why it's called fiction In all of human history we may know only one ten billionth of what actually went on before us. Neither Jesus Christ nor Abraham Lincoln were vampire hunters, yet a movie maker and an author cast them in this role. My own personal reveiw is that this book is a stand-out among the many historical retellings; the pros far outweighing the cons.”
