Is nothing sacred??

I just found out about this new book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
It just came out in April.

At first, I was in shock but then asked myself why???
I mean, really, nothing is sacred...anyone who has read Christopher Moore's Lamb knows that.
I have to admit that the book was funny.

So, why should I be surprised that someone added zombies to Pride and Prejudice???

You may have guessed by now that I am a HUGE Pride and Prejudice fan.
I have read the book countless time.

I have the audiobook which I have listened too so many time that I think I can say the lines with the characters now (okay not all of them just Elizabeth and maybe a few of Darcy's).

I love the mini series version of P&P that the BBC put out in.....I think it came out in 1995.
The 2005 movie version was too, too dark for me

And I have read many of the P&P continuations.
My fave is Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife.
That book was fabulous!!!

Anyhoo, I read a few reviews of the new PP&Z and it doesn't sound half bad.
I suppose, I will HAVE to go buy the book and read it

Dang it!! I just left the bookstore 2 hours ago...aaaand I had a coupon!!!

Here's a review of the book!
and the first line is.....

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

Too, too funny!!! Especially if you have the first line memorized

Love, Laughter, Peace, Blessings and watch out for zombies

Jane Austin used to live just down the road from here (Northanger Abbey was based in Bath) and there is a Jane Austin museum here too. Nothing to with the Zombie book but hey I never keep to the topic.

Ooo! This looks great!

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.

Thanks for the headsup, MsLani! Goin' shoppin' tommorrow!

i have searched my vast store of information and knowledge and have come to the conclusion that Zombies have neither pride or prejudice.....

they do sort of create mayhem where ever they do show up.....

Just bought the book...it was a very popular addition to the Jane Austen table! Anyway, I work with one of the world's biggest Jane Austen fans and she loves it, which is why I bought it. Can't wait to read it.

Serious.........???

NO joke?

Well,if it's a good one,I will wait and see it in a movie on tv for free.....

Please?

So are you saying it is a satire? I mean on the REAL "Pride and Prejudice" ?

I love that book, but thought I would not live to finish it....... lol.

I just don't have time for novels and other works of fiction. Used to love them.

I prefer facts and real life over fiction......... and the real world also.......
