          <body><![CDATA[I'm giving this five stars because of the glorious prose, sense of surprise and heartbreakingly portrayed characters. Yet it had flaws. I love interest of the narrator's struck me as a political subplot that came to nothing; there were points in the writing that felt clunky or forced.

The scatalogical humor wears thin at times, but the refashioning of Elizabeth, Jane, and Darcy as accomplished zombie hunters during a war-torn time in England makes for a fresh and engaging premise.
