"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins <em>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies</em>, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—& 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 & arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—& even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism & thousands of rotting corpses, <em>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies</em> transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.6072122book442009Pride and Prejudice and Zombiestotal:7258|5:1216|4:2276|3:2262|2:1026|1:478|7258245001848028152110falsefalseMon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009Thu Feb 12 13:20:16 -0800 2009Tue Feb 17 08:54:37 -0800 2009
