Pride and Prejudice and ZOMBIES

I've recently started reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies written in 2009 by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame - Smith. This book is a parody novel of the Jane Austen classic "Pride and Prejudice". It follows to the exact plot of the original book but theres zombies just thrown in there as well, keeping with the old style of writing he refers to them mostly as "unmentionables" and "satan's spawn". This book is much more tolerable and easier to read than the original, though I did enjoy that one as well. I would recommend reading this book if you are being forced to read the original for English class like I was. It's really a hilarious book. In the original they mostly talk about finding a girl who comes from money and a nice family. But in this book a man also looks for a woman who has been trained by the best of ninjas in the Japanese Dojos.

The characters relate to eachother exactly as they did in the original book published in 1813. They're all very snobby and they don't really discuss their feelings towards eachother. Murder is also a lot more acceptable in this book than it has ever been in real life, people will kill people on a whim, or if they dishonour their family.

There are many funny quotes so far in the book but the funniest one I have encountered so far is in a part in which Liza and Mr. Bingley are traveling by carriage towards Mr. Darcy's aunt's house, their carriage is swarmed with zombies and Liza, being the most skillful ninja in the cart, dashes out to attack the unmentionables. One of the zombies gets into the carriage where Mr. Bingley is hiding as he is not trained at all, and she slices the zombies throat very close to Mr. Bingley and he has never seen a zombie that close up before, in the book it says, "Liza made quick work of the unmentionable slicing it's throat with her katana, Mr. Bingley politely vomited into his hands.' This quote just made me laugh, I highly recommend this book to anybody willing to read it, it's a little rough to get through at times though as it is written in old english.
