Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls
by Steve Hockensmith
If Jane Austen were around today, she might have written this book. Minus the zombies! The Bennets emotions are thrown into chaos when they encounter zombified friends. They want them to live; yet salvation will mean the community's damnation. Future zombie attacks resemble epic CGI scenes and diminish some of the book's humanity. Through romantic entanglements, motifs in Austen's novel of societal norms and true love add to the book's appeal. We all face expectations, "monsters," and love. Hockensmith has kept the spirit of Austen. I can't wait to read the final installment! -- reviewed by Allison H.-F. - a customer of the Bennett Martin Public Library
