Pride and Predjudice and Zombies

I must say this book is definitely in my last of favorite books. While I was reading it I couldn't stop talking about it to my friends and family, informing anyone who would listen that they should read it. Before I read it I had seen the Hollywood version of Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly and had quite enjoyed it, so I had pretty high expectations of the book. The concept of adding zombies into such a classic seemed a bit odd to me and I was skeptical,but after reading a few chapters all my worries went away. The two fit together hand in hand as if it were originally intended to be written this way. The two authors blended almost seamlessly together taking an old world and transforming it into something new. Only a few times did I find myself thinking or noticing something that seemed out of place.
As for the characters themselves I found myself in love with the main character Elizabeth and was cheering for her and Mr.Darcy all throughout the book. A few of Elizabeth's sisters really peeved me but I suppose that was their purpose. The major problem I had with them was the long drawn out search for Lydia. The whole situation was a bit silly with the cover up marriage and all of the issues with Wickham. But lets just say im glad he got what was coming to him. A few of the characters I think were altered in ways that made them less appealing to me such as Mr.Bennet, he used to come off more as an intelligent man with little patience for his wife, but in this novel he was just a silly man obsessed with his daughters training and had little patience for his wife. Yet I did like the change in Lady Catherine, making her into a world renown zombie killer with a big ego was a marvellous addition to her character as a whole, and I think the fight made her confrontation with Lizzy in the end much more enjoyable.
As far as zombies and fighting goes, in not so into the first. I suppose im alright with them and the whole concept I just never really understood what the big deal was with them. I think it definitely added an interesting dynamic to the book though. I loved the idea of all the girls being fighters. Especially because usually it is the men that do the fighting. It also made the book a bit more guy friendly. I love when romance and normal day things from our world are tied in to things from others worlds, things from fantasy and monsters.
Overall I really enjoyed the book, and will probably reread it in the future...once I make all my friends read it first.
