I had so much fun reading this book :)
It was a lot of fun! A lot little bit nuts. So much more geekish fun than the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies book!
Something I really liked about it was how the authors were able to interweave the actual historical stuff (the Bronte family, King George III) with fictional characters from Jane Eyre (Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre, Bertha Mason, Adelle, Mrs. Fairfax, Aunt Reed, the ghost of Uncle Reed) with fictional characters created by the authors of this particular universe (Alexander, the ghost of Mr. Brocklehearst, the ghost of Helen Burns, etc.)
It was a lot of delicious, hysterical, geekish fun.
My only quibble is that the audiobook narrator voices the ghost of Helen Burns in a very high, squeaky timbre. I've always thought Helen Burns to be level-headed and calm and rational. So I felt that the narrator's voicing of her ghost persona didn't fit.
All of the little in-jokes about the Bronte siblings - especially the one about Emily and ghosts were really funny and made me chuckle inwardly.
Of course being a writer and a literature/history geek, I loved all the excerpts from Charlotte's notebook.
It was just so much fun, I wished I could have been reading this book and chilling with a girl gang over a sleepover.
I do want to get the rest of the series.
Planning on buying an amazon giftcard to get this book, and then using the extra money for some more of this series in paperback :)
BTW, The Art of Turning Red now has an actual cover!!!!
