With more than one million copies in print, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was the surprise publishing phenomenon of 2009. A best seller on three continents, PPZ has been translated into 21 languages and optioned to become a major motion picture.In this terrifying and hilarious prequel, we witness the genesis of the zombie plague in early-nineteenth-century England. We watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naïve young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. We laugh as she starts her first clumsy training with nunchucks and katana swords and weep when her first blush with romance goes tragically awry. Written by acclaimed novelist (and Edgar Award nominee) Steve Hockensmith, Dawn of the Dreadfuls invites Austen fans to step back into Regency England, Land of the Undead!

I tried really hard to read this, and please take this review with a grain of salt as obviously I did not end it, I tried very hard to get through the first chapter! I just could not get passed Mr Bennett. It’s honestly simple to get most of the additional characters, but when Mr. Bennett takes “charge” of the situation in the church I was just so distracted. As we all know the real Mr. Bennett would never have been the first one to deal with the problem, he would have never gone off and killer a zombie, not with others around who might have done! It just seemed so unlike him, as with Lydia leaving and his just sitting in his office not worrying about it. He would have probably sat back in the church and left when he first could, all the while with Mrs. Bennett yapping in his ear about how this would effect the neighborhood and the family tree involved and about how eventually the zombie’s would make their way to Netherfield and eat all the eligible bachelor and the girls would never marry, or would come to their house and her spouse would then be forced to fight them and die. As a replacement for he goes off to kill the zombie and even worse, pulls lizzie along with him! I just could not get passed it and had to stop reading it. This is my honest review, take it as you like it.

I loved Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, since it was shockingly amusing and wonderfully unexpected. This one didn’t reasonably come up to par, though, I’m sorry to say. I wanted to like it, but I never had a real tie to the tale. I didn’t reflect that the leader was reasonably right to the characters, and there was a lot less action. I marvel if it would have been better if the tale took place back when the wars first ongoing, and Lady Catherine De Bourgh and Mr. Bennet were young warriors. In any case, the book did make me want to read the original again. By the way, the ending was very disturbing, which I’m sure the leader proposed. I will be thinking about the box and it’s contents for some time, and having an occasional shiver all the while.

Doesn’t take place in China.
Throughout Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Elizabeth and the Bennet sisters constantly refer to having been taught the “deadly arts” by a Master Liu, *in China*, now that has been changed to a Master Hawksworth, in England. I was expecting a showdown between English girls and Chinese peasants, or Shaolin monks fighting against, perhaps, zombified Japanese ninjas and the like. Seth-Graham Smith referred to many comparisons between Chinese and Japanese martial arts – I wanted to see this with the Bennet girls in China! Despite that, the book’s intro made for histerical amusement, classic.
In all, I was disappointed. This book deviates from Seth-Graham Smith’s vision.

Okay – I HATED Pride and Prejudice (sorry Jane) – and never really “got it”. In a weird way, this odd book gave me insights into the original that I had missed – and was factually impossible to place down. Fantastic read.

If the writer had been able to pull this off it would have been a lot better. Being a zombie fan myself, i like the thought and was very excited about the all-purpose concept but it just didn’t make the sale for me.
