Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well this book well make Jane Austen role around in her grave like a cat in a dryer. But it is still a good book to read. Seth Grahame-Smith makes fun the prized book.

View all my reviews.

Wow what to say about this book. It is so absurdly weird that I just couldn't help but like it.
The book cover had been voted as one of the best cover. This book has everything from ninjas, cannibalism, swordfights, romance, heartbreak, adultery, even illustrations inside the book.

This book is still Pride and Prejudice an all it's glory, Seth just added a lot to the story. You know I have wondered if Seth have herd from many women that they want to have someone like Darcy, and how much they loved Pride and Prejudice. So taking revenge on poor Jane Austen he wrote this book. I don't know it is just speculation.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

  • Bingley: the same as ever. Sometimes I have always wondered if he cant do anything with out Darcys OK, its like he cant function without Darcy. He is also not a very good fighter.
  • Darcy: more delicious within this book. He has more whit. He fights Wickham, and leaves him bedridden. Still saves Lydia in his own way. Fights the Zombies with Elizabeth. Has his heart broken. Fights Elizabeth. Marries her.
  • Miss Bingley: never understood her character. I mean she is after Darcy but she is so dimwitted that she cant see that he barley puts up with her. (I so wanted to have her become a Zombie.) She has no function.
  • Mr & Mrs. Hurst: Same thing never understood their roles.
  • Jane: loves Bingley, don't know why but she does. Fights zombies. Knows Kong Foo Has her heartbroken.
  • Charlotte Lucas/Collins: Turns into Zombie very slowly. Marries Mr. Collins. Her head get cut off by Lady Catherine.
  • Mr Collins: Still a disgusting, annoying, stupid, dork. Marries Charlotte Lucas. never notices that Charlotte turns into a Zombie. Commits suicide, over Charlotte's death.
  • Elizabeth: Still the same as she was. Knows Kong Foo. She fights Darcy. Falls in love with him, marries him. She fights zombies, lady Catherine, and ninjas and disembowels the ninjas.
  • Lydia: the same as ever but knows Kong Foo
  • Mary: same as ever but knows Kong Foo
  • Kitty: Same as ever but knows Kong Foo
  • Lady Catherine: Stupid, gets used much as ever. She is a ninja so to speak. She has a legion of ninjas at her disposal.
  • Miss Darcy: shy as ever but studding under Elizabeth.
Here is some lines in the book:

"Mr. Darcy watched Elizabeth and her sister work their way outward, beheading zombie after zombie as the went."

"Elizabeth lifted her skirt, disregarding modesty, and delivered a swift kick to the creature's head."

"The Creatures were crawling on their hands and knees, biting into ripe heads of cauliflower, which they had mistaken for stray brains."
