Prequel to the amazing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and I prefer that. There were some interesting aspects. I also have the sequel, which theoretically I will get through sometime soonish.

No, I didn't finish it. Maybe I didn't give it a fair chance; I'm not into zombies, but it was given to me as a gift and I felt obliged to read it.Eurgh. The time frame this book is set in used to be so beautiful. I'm not a huge fan of Jane Austen, but I can appreciate her works for what they are, a...

Though intended as a prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, this is a book in itself. I like the plot twists and the fights, but it didn't satisfy my questions regarding the Bennet's backstory, as I was waiting for the sisters' trip to China (as mentioned in the original Pride and Zombies book)...

This was a fun read. This is apparently a prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame Smith (which I have yet to read, although it was published first).

I’ve said that my biggest problem with Pride & Prejudice & Zombies is that it never really lets loose and has fun with the subject. And it wouldn’t be as much of a problem with me if it wasn’t for the existence of Dawn of Dreadfuls. This reads like the book the original P&P&Z should have been. Hocke...

Oh, this one was much better than the first P&P&Z.Maybe it's because Jane wasn't actually involved. Or maybe it was because I didn't already know the general direction the story was taking. Either way, this was a fun read. And really, that's all that matters to me when the weather is warm and the...

I heard this story once from a friend of mine – I make no claims to its veracity – about a guy who ghost-wrote an autobiography for some minor Playboy bunny/starlet. It was a good gig for a struggling writer: he spent some weeks organizing the depressingly non-sordid details of a woman's life that c...

Ok, surprisingly, this was pretty good. I didn't know how I was going to feel reading a prequel of P&P without the angst of Darcy and Lizzy but I found that with a good enough premise, an already existing solid novel and the character development that even Ms. Austen would appreciate, I could get ov...
