I. love. this. book. Granted, it's not too hard to impress me when it comes to funny zombie stories. But this one really cracked me up! I love the contrast between the proper English language and manners of the characters with the wacky zombie elements. It's so ridiculously random that I laughed out loud several times. I also enjoyed seeing more involvement from Lizzy's sisters, Mary and Kitty, as well as their father. The main storyline is predictable, but there are some twists thrown in and I found the conclusion very satisfying. If you've enjoyed any of the monster mashups that have been so popular lately, I highly recommend this one!

As I said, it's ridiculousness to the max, yet guilty pleasure nevertheless.
The awfully slow plot in the middle made me nearly throw this book to the wall and acclaimed it as nothing but lame fanfiction.
But my irritation pretty much worthed, as how predictable the ending was, it still keep me amused.

For how much I absolutely hated the first book of this series; which I screamed 'how is this not plagiarism?' the whole way through; I find I actually enjoyed the other two books in this series. After the hack job, that is the first book, did well the publisher finally decided to hire an actual writer to pickup the series. Admittedly, I really enjoyed the wild ride that Steve Hockensmith took with the story. Whereas Seth Grahame-Smith's tale had barely an ounce of originality to it; Hockensmith took the sequel/prequel in the craziest and most unexpected directions. I honestly still think back on trying to give a summary of this and will laugh to myself because it's just so out there. It was very much a fun piece of fanfiction with twists and turns a plenty. Hockensmith took the prompt of write P&P except with zombies, and just had fun with the world. At the same time the author kept still respectful of the original, gave more depth to the characters and inserted enough of his own voice and story to make something new and different.

So fun, so funny. I love how the series flows together. This is a nice continuation of the first and second books.
