"Your balls Mr. Darcy?"

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

First off I have to say I love Pride and Prejudice, I read it every couple of years and it always fills me with a feeling of happiness and contentment. If I had seen this adaption in any other mood then the one I had been in when I first saw it I might have been offended at the idea of them taking a book I love and defiling it with zombies. Instead I purchased it and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

The addition of the walking dead and their quest for brains give the book a hilarious twist. Countless times I found myself bursting out with laughter. *SPOILER* The part where Elizabeth fights off the ninjas and rips one of their hearts out only to then begin eating it is so tremendously funny. Even more amusing is the conversation held about Mr. Darcy’s balls. :-p

This is a book I would highly recommend to anyone who loved the original. Even with the addition of zombies the classic story shines through and is not lost amid all the blood and gore.
