What a shame.  I read the first few pages wishing I'd thought of this first, and afterward I wished that anybody else had thought of this first.  In the reviews, I'd gotten the impression that Grahame-Smith had brilliantly swapped in zombie slaying as a status indicator.  Lady Catherine, for example, is the mightiest slayer in the land, and Darcy

i read a review of this one, and it kind of smelled off to me. i can wholeheartedly recommend World War Z, if you don't mind reading another book about zombies.

If only I had my Playstaion 3 here... I'd fire up some Resident Evil right now.

If you're in the mood for P&P style + supernatural shit, try "Sorcery and Cecelia." It's definitely YA, but well-written (so far) and the kind of book I'd be psyched about my 12-year-old reading if I had a 12-year-old. As it is, my inner 12-year-old is psyched and the rest of me likes it as well.

Thanks for the rec, but my inner 12-year-old read Sorcery and Cecilia 3 years before your inner 12-year-old even got halfway through. :D That book was a total win.
