A New Take on an Old Classic submitted by Chris82 on July 28, 2011, 7:14pm This audio book takes the classic book Pride and Prejudice and adds zombie attacks. Its an odd concept but it actually works pretty well. The zombies made a pretty boring book really interesting and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

Pride and Prejudice and....zombies? submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on June 23, 2014, 8:13pm This is the sort of book that Jane Austen fans, particularly literature majors, will love so long as they can remember this book is a joke. Seth Grahame-Smith admits in the description of the authors that Austen is a world class novelist, whereas this is his first book and a joint effort at that. The novel humorously melds the classic Regency romance novel and a modern zombie story, complete with the Bennett sisters as trained ninjas. We get some of the original witty prose and most of the same plot line, with ridiculous items added in, such as Lizzy fighting zombies at all times, including during the dinner parties that feature strongly in the original novel.

Read this for a laugh and don't take it at all seriously in order to enjoy what is just brain candy. If you do enjoy it, take a look at "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters."

Surprising submitted by zmclaugh on July 25, 2018, 3:05pm The book sticks quite close to the original text in some places, which makes for an interesting reading experience. However, it's hard to stay engaged for the whole length of the novel.
