Book Review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Helpful Score: 13


As a dude, I probably never would have read Jane Austen's original version of P&P. But having seen two film versions of the story, and having discussed the book with my wife, I feel like I consumed probably 80% unaltered Austen, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The book is entertaining and satisfying, and the added Grahame-Smith's zombie plague accentuates the true nature of Austen's characters, making them more understandable, and their fates more satisfying, for those of us not used to reading this sort of work.
