Product Description
'It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.' So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

 Good Stuff March 11, 2010
A. Walser (Sierra Vista, AZ)
I admit that I was very reluctant to read this book. I abhor the abominations that dare call themselves sequels and rewrites of Jane Austen. Embarrassingly enough, I loved this book. I think Jane would have approved of the new and improved Miss Bennet and her katana. I loved Collins and Catherine De Bourgh (the famous slayer of the unmentionables). And even Darcy was made more sexy (is it possible?) by his skills with the sword. It was really a delight to read and I recommend it to any Austen fan that has a sense of humor.
