Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

So I've finished reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a while back, and to be honest it's quite overrated. I know I only spent $5 on the book, but I expected better. It's basically the same thing as Pride and Prejudice, but then they throw in these random zombies now and then, and Elizabeth uses her martial arts to kill them. See when I think of Elizabeth I think of Keira Knightley (SHE'S SO HOT)-

But I really can't imagine her killing off a bunch of ninjas and eating their hearts (yeah, that's a scene in the book). OH WHOOPS, SPOILER ALERT.

Yes the book's pretty much the same, the insignificant characters are still insignificant, Lizzy and Darcy still get together in the end... I think the only twists were with Charlotte, Mr. Collins and Mr. Wickham. That sort of made up for the it but the zombie element totally ruined every single romantic aspect of the novel. The author has a distinctively different writing style to Austen, and when it's mixed with her work- well, it's hard to read.

Well, one of my favorite novels is now forever ruined... I don't think I can ever read the good ol' Pride and Prejudice the same way ever again... Maybe I'm just not suited to Austen. It gets so dry and so boring, and sometimes I feel a mixture of admiration and disgust for her characters...

How wonderful it must be, to have nothing to worry about in the world, except for attracting the attention of handsome bachelors! All you ever do is stay at home, dance at balls, flirt around, fight for the attention of men...

...And how horribly dreadful it must be, to be a woman without any right of inheritance, no proper education and no experience or knowledge of the world! I feel like I could insert a biblical reference in here (you know, the whole Adam and Eve story). To be ignorant of almost everything and take satisfaction in domestic matters- Is the trade-off worth it? The price of freedom is protection...(I got that from Devil Survivor 2, a game I just finished today. Yeah, my philosophical words come from games, because I'm a cool kid.)

Back to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies----

Yes, it was a pretty lousy book, but knowing what I was up for I probably would have still read it. Maybe I only disliked it because it ruined Pride and Prejudice for me. They also had these little illustrations of characters inserted, and Darcy was kinda ugly (yeeah, there's my problem). I should just stick to the movie, eh? I mean, what kind of Darcy can top this?

Bingley was pretty hot in the movie, too:

So yes, moral of the story: watch the movie instead. The book itself was boring, and any adaptation written of the book can only get worse. The movie has hot actors, male and female. What more can we ask for?
