::: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Grahame-Smith)

This was a tall order, I must admit; a bit like MST3K trying to take on, say, Hamlet. I don't think it succeeded too well -- too much vomiting and bathroom humor. Some funny bits ("It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains"), and I was amused by Lady Catherine's ninjas and the baiting of traps with cauliflower (because it looks like brains). But overall I give it a "meh."

zombie apocalypse, brit lit, good ideas poorly executed, meh, book reviews
