Re-writing someone else's novel, especially such a well-known and influential novel as PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, is always tricky. To be completely honest, I've never been a huge fan of the original; I enjoyed reading it and I might read it again, but it will never make my list of favourites. The same thing goes for this re-write, which I think, as well as re-writes go, is very well done. Not much has been altered from the original story, except for the obvious implementation of zombies and related things, such as the Bennett sisters' training in the martial arts in China and their skills with a variety of weapons. 
 After seeing the movie of this book announced, I got curious and I am glad I could borrow this book from a friend to satisfy that curiosity. It was a pleasant read, especially since it's been quite a while since I've read the original. I liked it.
