May Book Club Selection
I wasn't sure what to think about this book when we first selected it in book club. I had seen other Cannonball Read participants reading and reviewing it - Prisco & Rusty - so it couldn't be that bad.
I'm a big Jane Austin fan. I've read most of her books. I did a book report in high school comparing and contrasting the matchmaking in the 19th century within Emma with current day matchmaking companies.
I have read the original Pride and Prejudice as well as seen the latest movie version. I was pleasantly surprised that this book is exactly what the title claims - Jane Austin's book with zombies and ninja fighting Bennett sisters. I found the illustrations to be a fun distraction and looked forward to the next one as I read the book. I would definitely recommend that you read the original book and/or watch a movie version before reading this book. Having a basic knowledge of the plot allows the reader to enjoy the fun and humor that the zombie attacks and fighting brings to this classic.
Hello, I found your blog through LibraryThing and wanted to say hello.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a fan of the new alternative horror interpretations of the classics as well. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies might be good because it started the trend but the genre got a bit out of hand (in my opinion).
