Book Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith



Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Author: Jane Austen, Seth Grahame-Smith
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Zombies
Released: December 15th 2015
Review Source: Quirk Books

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.” So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a bold reimagining of Jane Austen’s classic novel. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the bloodsoaked battlefield. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an audacious retelling of English literature’s most enduring novel.

I am not a big fan of zombies in books, TV shows, or movies but I couldn't help but be drawn to the movie adaptation of this book and let me tell you, I freaking loved it! Which is what pushed me to want to read the book and I'm so glad I did!

On top of not being a zombie fan, I've never read Jane Austen's original Pride and Prejudice nor have I seen any of the movies, but I found this spin incredibly amusing! Every so often I found myself laughing out loud at some moments that transpire between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Their dynamic and the way it changes from their first encounter to their last is fun to read, especially with the added obstacle of battling zombies along the way. However, I couldn't stand Mrs. Bennett AT ALL, which is honestly what prevented me from giving this book the full 5 stars and had her role been any bigger, I probably wouldn't have finished reading the book. I'm excited to read the sequel and see what happens next, although I've already been MAJORLY spoiled, I still want to read it very badly!

All in all, this book was a fun read and now I want to read the original story and see how much is the same and how much is different, besides the obvious zombie factor.

Top Ten Tuesday: The Creepiest Covers Out There!



Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.


Top Ten Creepiest Book Covers Out There


• Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann : This original cover drew me in so quickly and didn't let me down. One of my top favorite creep-tastic stories written. The new cover doesn't do it for me, I feel it takes away from the creepy factor inside its pages. 

 Frost by Marianna Baer : Yes its as creepy as its looks, another great scary story that will have you thinking. 

 Possess by Gretchen McNeil : Gretchen is the Queen of writing creepy, scary and insane books. 


• Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick
• Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith
• The Replacement 
by Brenna Yovanoff


• Asylum by Madeleine Roux
• Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender


• It by Stephen King
• Flowers In The Attic by V. C. Andrews

* On these last two covers, They are super creepy! I just can't handle clowns, if you saw the Stephen King's It TV mini-series, then you had to be affected like I was when it came to clowns. I now can't go near them without getting freaked out. 

And your probably wondering why did I pick the Flowers in the Attic redesigned cover as creepy? HELLO! If you read this book back in the day, then you know this cover is just wrong, like I said CREEPY! EWWWWWW! The cover is pretty if this was a normal contemporary romance but inside the pages is anything but normal. Below you will see older cover designs for Flowers in the Attic that are definitely more fitting tot he story. Again creepy!!!!!
