Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel by Seth Grahame-Smith
4.0
Overall, I really liked it. Great adaption, witty, but that's what I had been expecting, I feel it lived up.
Having drawn quite a bit, I really appreciated the artwork. I didn't mind the lack of color, but I found it simultaneously puzzling and intriguing that the work was left so raw-preliminary sketches and reworking clearly visible in many of the images. I did enjoy the shading and depth ava thought it really brought something to narrative. I've seen reviews indicating readers couldn't tell characters apart, but I feel like they must not be looking very closely as I was surprised at how recognisable the characters actually were, despite consistent and frequent wardrobe changes.
One draw back I think was that the tongue-in-cheek humor went a bit far in spots- Elizabeth Bennett stripped to her garters and an awkward line about Mr. Darcy's (musket) balls. It started to toe the line of incredulous considering the story is still set in an age of extreme modesty.
Overall, a good read and I would probably read again.
