Pride, Predjudice, and Zombies

Seth Graham-Smith has made a Pride and Prejudice that even a boy will pick up. I loved this book from page one. It is funny and clever. Completely Jane Austin's romantic story about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy overcoming their individual prejudices to find love Graham-Smith uses the original text) with a healthy smattering of zombie killing thrown in. England has been overrun by zombies due to some strange plague, and the sisters are some first-rate ninja, zombie killers. I laughed more during this book then any others I've read lately, and there are some truly great pictures throughout the novel. I am really hoping that they make a movie version of this. And if anyone is looking for a stocking stuffer for me, I'd love the new hardback version of it they just came out with (I borrowed my version from the library)! I hope his next few books in this series are as well done.
