I remember when this book first surfaced, everyone and their mothers were out buying this book and raving about how amazing it was - some even went so far as to tell me that it was original. So naturally, I was pretty excited. I am a huge, huge fan of Jane Austen and an even larger fan of Pride & Prejudice. With zombies being a popular cultural trend at the time (and perhaps even now, I suppose), even I was intrigued at the remix of this classic love story. So I snatched myself a copy and settled down into the nearest, most comfortable chair I could find and started burying my nose within the pages. 
 There is definitely a creative twist to the story with Jane Austen elements everywhere. There were a lot of laugh-out-loud scenes and some that made me smile. But (and that's a very sad but) for whatever reason, I kept losing interest in the story. I've put it down and picked it back up so many times that I've lost count. In a way, I suppose it's because there's something utterly ridiculous about a woman determined to see her daughters married in the midst of a zombie invasion. Yes, I know the entire thing is supposed to be ridiculous and even in Austen's novel, Mrs. Bennett was, in some degree, pretty ridiculous to begin with, but this was just overdoing it in my opinion. 
 Good book, ingenious way to mash up two favorites, but I guess it's just me and my wandering mind.
