This book has inspired me to read more Jane Austen because I enjoyed the story behind the zombie slaying and would definitely want to experience Austen without the gore. Don't get me wrong though. I loved this version and I thought it was very clever and well done. Read it!

For those of you who aren't quite willing to take on the subtle wittiness of Pride and Prejudice, how about adding brainsucking zombies and merciless ninjas to Elizabeth Bennet's endless heap of social anxiety? Now it sounds interesting, doesn't it?

For those of you who aren't quite willing to take on the subtle wittiness of Pride and Prejudice, how about adding brainsucking zombies and merciless ninjas to Elizabeth Bennet's endless heap of social anxiety? Now it sounds interesting, doesn't it? (You know it does.) Also read Its prequel, Dawn of the Dreadfuls, and another twisted Austen novel, Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters.

I didn’t read this book for the longest time, probably because it was combining Pride and Prejudice-one of my favorite books-and zombies. The combo just didn’t seem to work for me. I’m not even sure now, after reading it, it does. The idea was good, I suppose, but it didn’t strike me as an exceptional book. All the author did was write a few scenes of fighting zombies-or fighting other humans. It seemed highly overrated. Saying that, it wasn’t a bad book, just not great. Still, read it just for the sake of saying you did.

All this author did was take Pride and Prejudice as written by Jane Austen and insert extra stuff. The zombie stuff is just so obviously tacked on. Gimicky. Stick to the original. There’s a reason it’s a classic.
