Book Reviews of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!

Book Review: Get rich quick...
Summary: 1 Stars

I really hoped that this book would be the wonderfully funny regency era novel that everyone says it is. As far as I can tell, Seth Graham-Smith needed some extra money, and out-and-out reprinting the book with his name in the author's spot would have been plaigirism. I hoped that they would expand on the zombie theme, but they don't. They don't figure out what caused the zombies, how to cure the zombies, or kill all the zombies. The zombies really have no bearing on the plot at all. I also agree that the "ball jokes" are just strange. It took me a while to grasp that they actually were supposed to be jokes... In short, don't waste your time with this book. However, I could use a little extra money for Christmas. Anyone up for Sense and Sensibility and Werewolves? :)

Summary of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!

'It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.' So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.
