hahaha...Pride and Prejudice and Zombies..what can I say?? The title alone just begs you to read it right?

Well I'm a big Jane Austen fan (read all her books except Emma) and P&P is one of my favorites. P&P&Z is alright, I found it funny and witty and so....bizaare that it's kinda hard not to like it or at least appreciate it as a parody ?

The thing with P&P&Z is that after a while of reading it, for me it kinda loses it's novelty. The frist few chapters were amusing because the writer constantly replaces anything related to socio-economic issues with "zombies" - but once you get the hang of it, it gets a bit repetitive...

But....it's still a fun read! ;)

RE: repetitiveness. Ah, you may very well be right. I'm not yet halfway through the book, so time will tell.
