Back Cover: “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 Elizabeth 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.
What happens when you take Jane
Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and add Zombies? You find one of the best books
ever. There are no changes in the language from the original story. Most people
know the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. It is one of those books that
even though your required to read it in high school, it’s still a book you
would read. When I first picked this up I wasn’t sure how this would work as I
love the original story. But once I started the book all doubts where gone. It
takes the classic story and puts a great twist on it. It’s one of those books
that I could read many times over. What’s great is that there is a prequel,
Dawn of the Dreadfuls. As well as a sequel, Dreadfully Ever After coming out on
March 22, 2011.
