Last night, I finally finished the book "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." (Melissa should be happy to know this because we're in a book club together, and now we can finally talk about that book.) So, let me give you a short review of this book... Well, I wish I could compare it to the classic book, actually. But I've never even seen the movie, let alone read the book. I've heard the classic book is incredibly boring and hard to get through, so I just jumped straight to the zombie edition. Not only is this book entertaining with the zombies, but the love story made me smile too (of course, I've always been a hopeless romantic.) There were times in this book where I got bored and it got harder to make it through..some of it is a little slow. But it always picked up again and it was very worth it to get through it because the end was the best part! Don't worry, I won't give away the end. Overall, I would recommend it. And I think it would be especially amusing to people that have already read the original "Pride and Prejudice." I've heard the two are actually very similar, except this new one manages to add zombies every chance it gets. So, now I'm onto the 7th Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.) I've already read it, I'm just reading it again since the movie is coming out soon. And you better believe I'm seeing that movie premier night!! I'll be one of those crazy people getting in line HOURS before normal people even remembered it came out that night. Only a month until I can buy the tickets for it!(:

  1. Before you try to read the original "Pride and Prejudice", rent the PBS movie with Colin Firth. If you can't find it then get the one with Kera Knightly - not as good (it doesn't completely follow the book) but a decent 2nd choice. If you like the movie, then read the book. I am going to get the Zombie version at the library today. :)
