Great first line, it had to be polished, “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”

Zombies and katanas give it the zing the original, tedious novel lacks. Everyone is happy in the end, except for those who deserve a bad end--and the people who turn into zombies.

Review of 'Pride and prejudice and zombies' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

Well, the zombies are amazing -- for brief periods of time you can actually believe they're alive, and then they start talking about balls and marriage and you realize you're seeing the soulless husk of a human. Oh wait, those are the main characters.

I enjoyed the bits where zombies killed or ate the humans. Unfortunately, this didn't happen about 10 pages in, and some of the characters even made it through the entire novel, despite their blatant stupidity and unworthiness to life.

Apparently there's a version where none of the characters die at all -- that would really suck, as just about the only thing that kept me going was the fervant hope that Elizabeth and Darcy would die slowly and in great agony.
