Amph Zombies! Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.

Take Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and add a dash of zombies to liven things up and this is the result. I picked it up in a local bookstore yesterday and started it last night. I'm not an Austen fan, but with a dash of zombies it's quite readable. Highly recommended!

 

I don't think I could read this - I enjoyed P&P quite a bit.

 

I hear it is masterfully done, Nat. I have been wanting to get this for some time, but I can't really afford money on books, and the library unfortunately can't get it. Looks great though.

 

I finished it the other day and it was pretty well done. For me it dragged in a few places but on the whole it was enjoyable. However, I don't think I could read the original - it would probably bore me to tears. But add zombies and that's another matter..
As far as price goes - both of my local bookstores had it on the discount tables.

 

Maybe you won't be able to answer this since you haven't read the original but how exactly are the zombies added to the story?

EF - yeah, it's gotten good reviews. It's just the idea of zombies being added to a classic - it sounds even weirder than sequels written by modern-day authors.

Does your library do inter-library loans?

 

England is infected by zombies, and a common interest in zombiekilling brings Darcy and Elizabeth together.

 

I saw this in Chapters a few weeks ago, but I have so much on my plate book-wise that I really couldn't justify picking it up.
