Stuff I'm Reading! #2: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

If you know me, you know I have a love/hate relationship with zombies. I like them in different forms of media, but if they ever started to walk the Earth I'd probably be the first person to either go nuts and kill normal people or myself, pending. As the title state, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is exactly about what you think it's about. Seth Grahame-Smith reprises Jane Austen by keeping her work somewhat intact, the characters and places are mostly the same, now they're just filled with zombies. Of course Fitzwilliam "Mr." Darcy is here to kick ass like he did before, if you read the book or watched the movie, you'll know he didn't. Elizabeth Bennet is also back, not only is she still the combination of smart and sexy, she and her sister also now have martial arts training. WHAT THE FUCK. All in all it's actually pretty good, you can tell people you actually read "Pride and Prejudice" just omit the pieces of zombies and "far east training" and you're solid.
