As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton — and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers — and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. Can Elizabeth vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry?
I'll admit - just like the original Pride and Prejudice, I didn't get through the entire book. This time, however, it was because of a lack-of-time, not from a lack of interest.
This book is /funny/. It's well written and original (yes, original) and just so, so much fun to read.
I wish I had had a chance to finish it!
Go read it. Do it. Now.
