Why I Love "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"

Note: this takes place at Pemberley, when Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle first arrive there. It follows a skirmish with "the unmentionables" (zombies).

Elizabeth and Darcy merely looked at one another in awkward silence, until the latter reached both arms around her. She was frozen-"What does he mean to do?" she thought. But his intentions were respectable, for Darcy merely meant to retrieve his Brown Bess, which Elizabeth had affixed to her back during her walk. 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." Upon this, they were forced to look away from one another, lest they laugh.

This book is basically awesome. It can't even compare to the original, as it is a whole different story. I want to read through it and finish it, but then it will be over...I just hope Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters is just as good!
