Helpful Score: 3
I was so disappointed with this book I couldn't even finish it. I had previously read "Pride & Prejudice & Sea Monsters" by Seth Grahame-Smith and thought it was great because it was close enough to the original to let you actually envision the characters, yet twisted enough to make it humorous. This book does not deliver what I had hoped for in a parody from this publisher.
I had wondered how they would manage to add sea monsters to a story like "Sense & Sensibility" and keep it interesting and entertaining like "P&P&Z" was to read. It turns out that this author couldn't deliver what Grahame-Smith did in his remake. This was more like one of those crappy juvenile parodies that are really nothing like the original except for the names and a few well-placed quotations.
Overall, I was sorely disappointed to have wasted my money and I'll have to make sure if something like this is published again, to only purchase it if it is by Seth Grahame-Smith and NOT Winters.
