Comments on: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies… Are You Cool Enough For This Book? http://www.rechelleunplugged.com/2009/08/pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies-are-you-cool-enough-for-this-book/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:03:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jeanna http://www.rechelleunplugged.com/2009/08/pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies-are-you-cool-enough-for-this-book/#comment-610 Jeanna Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:12:37 +0000 http://mysistersfarmhouse.com/library/?p=297#comment-610 As an avid Austin fan I really would never even consider buying this to read. I really gets me that people want to make fun of something so very well written. Anyway I liked the article and love your blog.

Couldn't do the zombie thing but loved both the potato society book and, amazingly, The Good Earth (WOW!) I'm thinking of going back in time for some other gems. What would you recommend?

I've giggled every time I've seen the book at the bookstore, & wondered if I should read it.... now I don't need to! I may have to see the movie though (although I won't be one the cool kids who can say, "oh well, the book was way better!") Thank you for the review!

Go figure. I wonder if Jane would be appalled. Your description of PP&Z sounded like a bizarre idea; but, I have to say, that for some odd reason, I laughed at the S&S&S trailer. Go figure.

Danny and Josh were fascinated by that trailer, though. I think they've secretly always wanted Jane Austen's characters to be eaten by zombies or sea monsters. Have you seen Bride and Prejudice? Now there is some silly fun! Okay then, I think I’ll just skip this one. Danny and Josh were fascinated by that trailer, though.

Sense & Sensbility and Sea Monsters sounds intriguiging though... I couldn’t get into P&P&Z either, and like you I thought there could have been more done with the idea.

I only made it about ten pages in and gave up. I didn't know it will be made into a movie. I have a hard time watching anyone but Colin Firth portray Mr. Darcy, so I'll probably skip it.

On the way back through the airport I was looking for something else to read and I had this in my hand to buy but couldn't do it in the end. I am all for ludicrous and I even like the occasional zombie battle but I am not sure if this book is for me. I think I just love the original P&P too much...

Amazon has one listed that I may read Darcy, Vampyre.... that one I could sink my teeth into (hee..hee) This one doesn’t really appeal to me…I am a great fan of Jane Austen and have enjoyed many of the sequels….

I like the idea, and wonder if it's only funny at first, only then to get repetitive and not-funny. Glad to hear that there are some funny bits in it...

I am trying to find a copy of the original P&P so I can read it and not having any luck! Would you believe I couldn't find it at the library!? And I'm ashamed to say I don't own a copy (or if I do, and I may, someone needs to come and catalog my books for me so I can find things). My dd has a copy as part of a one volume "complete collection" but I can't read it without a microscope. It is really difficult to lounge in bed at midnight reading a book with a microscope.
