So, I am currently 17 chapters into Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. I will admit that I have jumped into this book with a very strong prejudice (no pun intended). As you may or may not know, I spent a good portion of my academic career studying and writing countless papers on Jane Austen and her novels. I love Jane Austen. Love her. The idea of taking this book (one of my all time favorites) and giving it a zombie twist seemed... well really, almost crude. Clearly not crude enough to keep me from ordering the book as soon as it came out and now (I actually have some time to sit down and read) read it. I almost hesitate to say this ... but I think I may really like this book. So far. Elizabeth Bennett is pretty bad ass with her zombie killing and the author has twisted the zombie "plague" into the original text rather well...
