I am still working my way through Pride and Prejudice and just think I dont need to add zombies to the book. :)Sheila (bookjourney)http://bookjourney.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/brainerd-library-book-sale/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-17162448861101696632009-09-29T14:44:48.908+01:002009-09-29T14:44:48.908+01:00Oh!

You really must read the original; it's also funny, but the humour's quite different, more reserved, than in the mash-up. <br /><br />I read one review of this book where they said they wished it was written by someone who actually liked Austen, and I kind of agree. It might have made the whole thing a little more palatable. <br /><br />However, Charlotte grossed me out COMPLETELY.Deanna McFaddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697013097418998187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-42352767143572817962009-09-28T22:17:32.451+01:002009-09-28T22:17:32.451+01:00just minutes ago I read a review of the same book ...just minutes ago I read a review of the same book over at <a href="http://tragicrighthip.blogspot.com/2009/09/51-pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies.html" rel="nofollow">My tragic Right Hip</a> .

It just seems so ridiculous ... but at the same time, I admire the author's chutzpah at messing with such a beloved book. (And have I read P&P? Sadly no. I'm almost embarrassed to admit this. It seems like a requirement to have a book blog to have read this or some other Austen book. Ssssshhh...don't tell.)<br /><br />I enjoyed your review ... and your husband's thoughts too. I heard there is yet another version now -- something about Jane Austen mixed up with sea monsters. I think it is supposed to be pretty bad.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-40785791671165616632009-09-24T01:52:12.155+01:002009-09-24T01:52:12.155+01:00You really MUST read Pride and Prejudice.
