Query: Pleasantly surprised

I'm typically not into the recent vampire craze. No offense to Twilight fans, but it just doesn't appeal to me. Decided to watch this on a whim while getting mindless tasks done around the house, and was pleasantly surprised. I'm also not a huge fan of violence and though there was some gratuitous blood, it wasn't overly disturbing. The premise, though far-fetched, weaved in enough real historical events to make me think, yeah, maybe. Just don't tell my absolutely fabulous U.S. history teachers that. Now I kind of wish I had read the book first, because I usually try to do that with books made into movies, but I just didn't think I'd be interested enough. I might go back and try because it really is a creative story. I liked all of the actors, the portrayal of real people was interesting (particularly Mary Todd, I thought), the plot moved well, it was easy to follow, and there were some interesting twists and turns.
