Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Posted by Cynical Sarah on June 15, 2010

I can’t recall ever reading a Jane Austen novel. I’ve seen a few of the movies based on her books, but based on what I saw, I had no urge to read the books. At heart they seem to be basically Victorian era romance novels; however, you throw in some zombies, and I’m intrigued.

I had actually stopped at the bookstore the other day to pick up a different book, but in a moment of judging a book by its cover, I decided I had to give Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith a try. I was curious how someone could incorporate zombies into a Jane Austen novel without treading too much on her own style of storytelling as well as her basic storyline.
