I love Pride & Prejudice and zombies can be fun too, so I had to read this one. I thought the beginning was hilarious. I had a blast reading it. By the end, the novelty had worn off, but I still have to give it high marks for originality, and for keeping the new parts as close to Austen's style as possible - although what Austen would think of her characters fighting ghoulish beings I can't say.
