Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. My son's book of choice to accompany him on a school trip. Nice to see him taking an interest in the classics.
But it will have to come highly recommended indeed to persuade me to read it.
I find Jane Austen tedious. With or without zombies.
But it is fun to look at the pictures. "A delightful comedy of manners. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights . . . and thousands of rotting corpses."

hehe... You must, must, must post if you finally decide to try it.
I keep wanting to buy it, and have to remind myself how much I have never enjoyed the book without zombies... :)
Also, my "captcha" code to post here right now says "gravessa" -- doesn't that sound like a pretty name for a character in a dark, spooky comedy?
Yes, I sometimes think those "captcha" codes really aren't random at all :)
As for the book, from what I've seen of it, the writing style is very similar to the original (a bit dull and plodding, in my opinion). I'm curious to find out what my son has to say once he's finished it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the thought of having to read her work again - even with zombies - unappealing. The undead isn't enough to make me want to rush out an pick it up.
Wow...I know a few people who would get a kick out of that artwork...fabulous find!
I can't wait to read this:)
