I haven't read it, but all the friends and bloggers I've heard talk about the book seem to be on opposite sides, though. Either they loved it or they hated it. (I'm oversimplifying, but that's the general impression I was left with.) *ruffles hair* I'm actually having the darnedest trouble getting this answer all linear and coherent. Apologies for any unclarity and odd jumps of topic!
I guess for me the stumbling block is what you say: I was/am under similar impressions that it's the original text with new bits spliced in. So I finally did the smart thing and looked up an excerpt and it doesn't seem to be from the first page or so. (Sadly, it also proved that Grahame-Smith's prose and I do not get along.)
