I always always love Jane Austin book. Jane Austin is a modern feminist that was born way too early. But nevertheless she is a trail blazer. So many aspects and moral message of her story is still living on until today. 

Reading this twist plot about pride and prejudice excites me. The moral story is still there. This book gives more fun to read. Elizabeth is a kick ass woman warrior. She does not need to be rescue. And i love that! 

A shot out to Seth who brings clever twist to the beloved book.

I thought this book would be a fun read but it was rather disappointing. It really is just Pride and Prejudice with Zombies and Ninja fighting literally thrown in.

A hilarious and most interesting retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel. The zombies do not take away from the amazing story of the heroine and her ridiculous family and their exploits. Just as in Austen's story, we fall in love all over again with their love story and it makes it all the more interesting and touching when you toss in zombies and katanas.

Hilarious. I'm not sure if it would be as funny if you hadn't read the original Pride and Prejudice, but... still. I laughed.

I honestly dnf this book, from the parts that I read I enjoyed but I have no desire to read this and am not going to push myself at this time.

Good for those who like Austen but can read with a sense of humor. Keeps to the central points of Pride And Prejudice and adds zombies, ninja training, and vomit. It was a fun read. Also enjoyed the illustrations.

Loved it. I know the original almost by heart so it was interesting to see where/how the zombie theme was woven in.

I love historical fiction, I love zombie books but these did not go together, at least not in this format. I particularly did not enjoy the ninja type blood thirsty portrayal of the characters. I think the idea of a zombie overrun England could have been done better. The adding and changing of Austen's original story was done pretty well, and the original story line is what really kept me from giving up. It took me about 2 weeks to read this because I just wasn't excited.

terrible fanfiction that should never have been turned into something real.
