I’ve always thought the original "Pride and Prejudice" should be entitled "Pride, Prejudice, and Property" due to the unfortunate circumstances of the entailment on Mr. Benett's propery. It never would have occurred to me in a bajillion years to add Zombies to the mix, but I’m glad that someone did.

Not everybody agreement that this was a good move, of course, but I love how talented the women are in the fine arts of Swordsmanship in addition to their talents in the fine arts of dancing, drawing, and singing. (Mary is of course excepted.) The other arts are not necessarily less important in their original context, but self-defense should also be taken into account, especially when Zombies are called into play. Imagine if every co-ed at a frat party had those kinds of skills-some nights might end up a little differently.

I particularly liked the scenes in  "Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies" in which Miss Elizabeth Bennett began to notice Charlotte’s rapid decline after she had been stricken.  A zombie attack is a far better explanation for her marriage to Mr. Collins than a simple entailment.

Again, not everyone would agree with the bastardazation of a classic for opportunistic reasons, but I am quite positive the author enjoyed describing the characters in terms of their “new-found” skills.

For example, of Sir William Lucas: He had been a maker of fine burial grounds of such stately beauty that the King had fit to knight him.

I can’t specifically recall from the original what exactly Sir William Lucas’ talents were exactly, but I somehow doubt he was knighted for his talents in making cemeteries. Of course, I don't have the original novel in my hands, so would gladly accept a comment about this.

Another line was describing Elizabeth,

Elizabeth was presently attacked with a series of kicks, forcing him to counter with the drunken wash women defense.

This adds something more to the story than her taking a “turn around the room” in order for Mr. Darcy to more clearly see her assets. Also, as someone who wishes she were a bit more of a wordsmith, I am in awe of the phrase, "the washwoman defense".

A criticism of the book might be that it's a little bit much, but if a book actually has "Zombies" in the title I don't see how it could be done any differently. And, no, I haven't decided if I am going to read "Sense, and Sensibility, and Sea-Monsters". I'm waiting to see what they make out of "Emma" instead.
