I finally finished Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, a book I was very much looking forward to until sassymonkey indicated it wasn’t great.
She was right. It wasn’t great. It was a brilliant idea but I pictured something as wonderfully bizarre as a Christopher Moore book. It wasn’t that wonderfully bizarre. If I hadn’t already had Chris Moore’s version (or what I imagine a Chris Moore version would look like) in my head, I’d have probably enjoyed P&P&Z a good bit more than I did.
Worth reading, yes. Fabulous, not so much.
Exactly. It’s all Chris Moore’s fault that it wasn’t better. 😉
Still love the concept. And I did like Lady Catherine. But it could have been so much better. sigh.
I love the idea of this book too. I started reading it, and I just can’t finish it. It’s too much P&P and not enough Z for me.
I’m hoping his next book, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer will be better.
That really is unfortunate! I was looking forward to reading it. Ahhh well, I’ll give it a try anyway 🙂
