Pride and Prejudice and Zombies..thus far



All I have to say about this book, if you do not have patience for the classic type of writing you find in Jane Austen's actual books (ie Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park and so on), this book is not for you. I really enjoy the differences that are made to this classic, and especially because it includes zombies. The writing is also so proper and polite that I sometimes forgot that I was reading horrendous zombie scenes. Which I thought was pretty damn funny, I think that is the point of this book. People are so polite in the book and concerned with society that it is absolutely hilarious that there are zombies mutilating people right and left, not to mention eating the kitchen help in a scene. All in all, so far, I like this book and hope the rest is as funny as the first half. I would also like to add that there are talks of this book being made into a film. Why the hell not? I will definitely go.
