Plot Summary

If you have read the original "Pride and Prejudice", you will know most of the plot. The difference being that zombies are overriding England and the most valued traits of a man or woman are not familial relations and ties, but rather the martial arts school attended and the demonstrated ability to kill the "unmentionables", aka zombies.

Comments

First line of Pride and Prejudice: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

First line of this book: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

This is the type of change throughout all the book. If you are willing to look a "Pride and Prejudice" from a dark, comic perspective, you will enjoy this book. Otherwise, don't bother. You will waste your time and not enjoy the read.

As for my recommendations, there is a small niche of people that will enjoy this. Do not buy unless you are sure you are a part of that niche. The only way you would know that is if you have read a book similar (like "Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters" or "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer"). If you aren't sure, just borrow. And now that I have read it, I probably won't read other books of the same genre, unless I happen to be in that mood with several hours to spare in one sitting.
