“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, 2009

“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, 2009

The book was a bit of a "one-joke" book. Just read the first few chapters and you’ll get the idea. It was enjoyable and had its moments. The author does an okay job, but the scenes of Zombie mayhem do get a little bit repetitive.

The Good: Zombies! The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem! Bone crunching action starts immediately, and it’s a light-hearted spoof.

The Bad: If you’ve read Pride and Prejudice already, there isn’t much new. 85% of the original is text is there. Pretty predictable when the zombies are going to appear; pretty much when the plot of the original gets slow.

My rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2 out of 5 stars)
