Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen, Jane Austin, Seth Grahame-Smith (2009, Paperback)

This book is an excellent and hilarious spoof of the Jane Austen classic. It still have like 90% of the original text and that's why it's so funny.

Just imagine reading about Elizabeth Bennet and suddenly imagine her cutting the throat of a zombie.

If you like zombies and ninjas and brains, you'll absolutely love this funny and brilliant spoof/mashup of the Austen classic.

Maybe it's because of the economy, swine flu or just trying to hang on during a long year of teaching, but I decided to try something different. This is VERY different! Jane Austen characters co-existing with Zombies... Lizzie and her sisters killing zombies with their ankle daggers modestly concealed under their dresses at the ball at Nethfield actually is really really cool. The writing is superior and true Austen lines are included, added to and the sarcasm is cranked up a notch... which I enjoy. It's a very pleasant distraction.
If you like Austen, Pride and Prejudice, want to read Austen-like language (who doesn't) and would love to imagine more of each character's thoughts in similar and yet new situations... this is the book for you.
I have been only allowing myself a few chapters per night - to stretch out the absolute excitement of reading something so new, yet old and familiarly sarcastic.
I didn't think I'd like Twilight, but ended up reading all the books within a few weeks... this has the same sense of enjoyment to me, but the enjoyment of the story is blended with anticipation of how the author might handle the plot points to come. It's always a clever surprise.

Item was in great condition and shipping was right on time, thanks! Willing to buy again from seller!

I have not yet read this book but my 16 year Granddaughter loved it. Very funny connection between the original book and adding the flavor of the zombies. Very entertaining.

Received the book very quickly and in great shape... Can't wait to read it... Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!

The book came in perfect condition and the note you left was lovely, thank you! You're a wonderful seller!

Personally i loved the original Pride and Prejudice, in my opinion its one of the greatest classics of English Literature and a book that every person who enjoys reading should read. With that out of the way lets talk about the re-spawned version. When I first heard of the idea of adding zombies to Jane Austen's classic, i thought it was a terrible idea that would completely ruin the novel, but after some time i decided to at least give Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a chance to prove me wrong. And oh, surprise, it is actually not bad at all, the only difference between the original and Seth Graham's version is only a few words and in some cases entire sentences being replaced or added to the original Jane Austen text, and its surprising how well it works. The original story remains mostly unharmed, except for the addition of zombies, and if you liked the original Lucy and Mr. Darcy you will love them even more when they are fighting off the undead. In conclusion, P&P&Z is a hybrid a Literature classic and Resident Evil, if you liked the original and want to read a more humorous version then or if you never read it and are into zombies or simply curious then you cant go wrong with this book.

I was apprehensive when I initially heard about the changes that were made to Pride and Prejudice, but I have to say that it was so well done it seems that the original story might have really included zombies. It amazes me that such a modern and trendy phenomenon works so well with this classy, proper storyline.

got it new and fast! i haven't read it yet but it looks like a fun read. thanks:) i always wanted this book.

same-day shipping! very speedy! love love love. thanks so much. in good condition, just as described.

You may find it hard to believe, but I have never read a Jane Austen book until this one. It was the zombie angle and the originality of the concept that interested me. I thought, why not give it a shot?

Surprise, surprise. It wasn't the zombie angle that got me hooked, but the un-zombiefied original story. I found it absolutely fascinating. Of course, I easily guessed how it would end, but that didn't take away any of the pleasure.

The zombie angle certainly fit well in the story, and the argument over Chinese vs. Japanese training was also interesting. But, it was the look at the social customs and prejudices of the time that makes me want to try another Jane Austen novel.

Definitely looking forward to the author's Fall release of Lincoln and vampires.

This book would make a very interesting movie. I encourage all to give it a shot.

My order was never received and after contacting the seller two times, I have not even received a single response. The book was to be a gift for my wife, but I had to find something else at the last minute. Terrible experience.

This book is awesome. Its got Zombies and Ninjas so what else do you need. I highly recommend this title for anyone who loves Mash-ups like this or just wants to read something funny.

This book was really fun, I wish I read this version in highshcool instead of the original. Maybe I would have done better in my english classes.
