Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
by Seth Grahame-Smith
This original Austen novel is a love story. This mash-up keeps much of the original text but adds zombies. While the title and cover prepared me for gore, neither prepared me for the vomit, ninjas, or dark tone. Yet Seth Grahame-Smith cleverly integrates the zombie world. He does not simply replace random nouns with the word "zombie"; he describes their appearance and their battles. He also turns landed gentry into zombie hunters. I am hooked! The book both entertained me and renewed my appreciation of the original. -- reviewed by Allison H.-F. - a customer of the Bennett Martin Public Library
