I've been meaning to pick up some classic books from my TBR pile and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was on top of the list. There are always so many great books coming out, especially in YA and paranormal genre, so many amazing stories I want to read.. even though I really WANTED to explore the classic genre and read all these wonderful, timeless books from 1000 best books ever list, I could never really find enough time to do so! So frustrating! So you can only imagine how delighted and excited I was to find out about this one! Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a mashup of the classic 1819 novel by Jane Austen with elements of modern zombie fiction. I admit, I had mixed feelings when picking this book up. I was intrigued and repelled at the same time! A romance from Regency Period combined with bloodthirsty zombies? The idea fascinated me! As a fan of paranormal genre and a frequent thriller/horror reader I was drawn to this book. I wasn't quite sure how all this is going to work, but nevertheless - I had to read it! If you take time to read a few of many hundreds reviews of this book circulating online, you will find out that many people felt the same way. Some were totally in love with this book, getting a kick out of reading it. Others were complaining, they were enraged and indignant that something like that came to exist! They felt that Seth Grahame-Smith's work was a grotesque and ridiculous "Frankenstein" of the literature world. It's the kind of book that you either hate or love, there is no in-between, no so-so. It's not an average creation, it's a daring new idea to "remix" classic novels with modern paranormal/horror fiction. I personally enjoyed this book A LOT. It was very refreshing, something totally new, one of a kind! To read a story written with Austen's beautiful language, where every once in a while a zombie pops up and tries to eat someone's brain.. that is just so much FUN!! You can not exactly say that Grahame-Smith wrote a lot.. The text is 85% original + some zombie extras, BUT some of them undeniably ROCKED! (i.e. Lady Catherine being a famous zombie killer and having her own army of NINJAS - how cool is that?! or the match between her Ladyship and Lizzy.. that's just pure awesomeness~!) All in all, I loved this book. Reading it made my week and I will definitely read more of the Quirk mashup series :) If you like zombies and your capacity for understanding a satire is somewhat reasonable, then I say: Go FOR IT!!
