For once a book has left me a little speechless.  I’m not sure if I should tell you this is the worst piece of “literature” I’ve ever read, or it’s ridiculously funny and rush out and buy it.  I have absolutely no idea what type of audience this was written for.  It’s basically Pride and Prejudice (in it’s original language) with bits of zombie and ninja humor thrown in.  It felt a little like those awful ninja movies with the English translations my husbands roommate used to watch.  It took me almost a week to trudge through it, and I only kept it up because I kept skimming through the story I know by heart, to get to the zombie parts and see what he changed.  The worst bit of the book was the crude humor thrown in every once in a while.  I understand the book is really refined and the author is trying to lighten it up; but making the characters into the punchline of a rude joke was something of an insult to them.   I can laugh with the best of them- but Elizabeth seemed almost psychopathic at some points, and Darcy unbalanced.  Really curious to know what some of you think.  I’m not going to recommend reading this- but if you love some of the more obscure Monty Python movies, and/or bad zombie humor, this may be for you.

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