Now this book took me a while to read, but that was due to the fact that I would only read it while on break at my job. But I really loved it. The whole time I was reading it, I had the images from the movie (the one with Keira Knightly and that dude who played Mr. Darcy) playing in my head. I could picture the sisters Bennet walking around the green english countryside or at the balls they attended and even that annoying Mr. Collins. Just as I remembered a beautiful scene from the film, they would throw in a zombie attack and Elizabeth and the others would go all samurai/ninja (depending on where they were trained) and totally kick-ass at zombie killing.
Also, the way the dialect flows from the original book to the added zombie mentions is amazing. The characters would be like "I love you chestnut mane and your english parts, and your ability to take down 100 unmentionables (zombies) with your pinky!" This is not a direct quote but that is how the talking portions flowed.
Now I am super excited that they are turning this book into a movie! I think they should remake the one they already did but with zombies added, because I think those actors had great chemistry. This is highly unlikely so hopefully the new cast will be great!
I would say that if you are a fan of either the original book or of zombies you should read this. Its an interesting retelling of a beloved story, and who can really say no to zombies? I mean, they eat brains and I know that everyone out there secretly wishes they could come face to face with one!
Peace & Love
