Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith (reviewed by Adam Sayre)

This is a quirky take on a classic novel that we all know. The twist is that Britan has been overrun with a zombie plague. Elizabeth and her sisters have been highly trained in Chinese fighting arts and Mr. Darcy is a renowned zombie killer. At first glance, the book seems to be a bad zombie thriller with the classic gentry lady missing something, namely her throat and jaw. The book holds to the original plot. More or less. The author just couldn't resist adding the occasional fight and zombie attack. Austen and zombie lovers alike will enjoy this amusing book.
