Pride & Prejudice & Zombies
I finished reading Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. And I loved it.
I didn't think I'd like it because I didn't like the real novel too much. It's strange how I didn't love the original book that much because I absolutely love the movie (Keira Knightley version). It's strange that I love P&P&Z also because it's not like it's drastically different from the original text. It's written in the same style.
Anyway, P&P&Z was ridiculously hysterical. I read the first chapter in the book store and I knew I'd love it.
Some parts were quite naughty. I wonder what Jane Austen would think of this:
She remembered the lead ammunition in her pocket and offered it to him. 'Your balls, Mr. Darcy?' He reached out and closed her hand around them, and offered, 'They belong to you, Miss Bennet.'" -- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies pg 205.
So yea, it's a fun read. I don't know if Jane Austen purists would like it, but I would read it again.
