Would I read them? I have read some zombie and vampire mash ups and they were funny and most enjoyable.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-36471746681275641902012-08-15T15:50:33.541+01:002012-08-15T15:50:33.541+01:00I don't mind when classics are given a modern ...I don't mind when classics are given a modern twist or update- because there are people that may enjoy them. These aren't books that I would be interested in reading, but it sounds like the 50 Shades fans will be all over these. I do think that the whole book should be rewritten and updated though, not just adding some spicy scenes. <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-64213666514670963412012-08-14T18:19:04.314+01:002012-08-14T18:19:04.314+01:00I have no trouble with re-imaginings of classics, ...I have no trouble with re-imaginings of classics, but just adding bits to the original seems wrong to me.carolhttp://carolsnotebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-38961625019307163912012-08-14T06:20:08.672+01:002012-08-14T06:20:08.672+01:00Stereotyping writings such as Jane Eyre?

NO to the BDSM type for Jane Eyre. You would have to reinvent the characters, not just insert the naughty bits.

And most of the sex scenes weren't my cup of tea either.<br /><br />I think they should leave the classics alone - isn't that plagiarism? I did read the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - it was fun for about a chapter and then fizzled for me.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-87350408577503564542012-08-13T12:34:58.179+01:002012-08-13T12:34:58.179+01:00 Yes, I mind.Very seriously !
