Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

This book is fantastic and I would like to recommend it to all of you. Especially for those who have read "Pride and Prejudice" but it's enjoyable regardless. Here's the back cover of this book, just so you have a better idea of what it's all about:

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

So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As out story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton--and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers--and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. Can Elizabeth vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpeice of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

Jane Austen is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature. Seth Gramme-Smith once took a class in English literature. He lives in Los Angeles."

And here are a couple of the illustrations in the book:

"Two adult unmentionables--both of them male--busied themselves feasting upon the flesh of the household staff."

"Mr. Darcy watched Elizabeth and her sisters work their way outward, beheading zombie after zombie as they went."

"Elizabeth lifted her skirt, disregarding modesty, and delivered a swift kick to the creature's head."

I have been completely delighted by this book. The Austen parts as well as the Grahame-Smith parts. It's just fun. So, everyone should read it and let me know what you think of it. Jesse out.
