Genre - Comedy
As the last line of the blurb suggests this novel “transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.”
Now, I am not a fan of Jane Austen and I have never read or intend to read the original, but who among us can resist the appeal of the Zombie in search of brains. There is not a large amount of Zombie mayhem, not as much as I was hoping for, however Elizabeth and her sisters do spend a lot of time practicing the "deadly arts".
This is an enjoyable read, the pictures are amusing, the story from what I can remember of the movie contains all the important bits and even though it has two authors the writing flows well.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking for some light hearted Zombie fun that is not to be taken seriously.

I think that this book deserves to be made into a film. Move over Buffy the Vampire Slayer bring on Lizzie Bennet the Zombie Killer!!!Perhaps Paris Hilton could play the main role...
