“‘Christmas won't be Christmas without any corpses,' grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.” Alcott's classic receives the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies treatment—and it's surprisingly effective. The original March family was characterized by their poverty, independence, and firm morals in the face of wealthy neighbors and decadent temptations. The vampire version has the equally poor Marches resisting the urge to dine on humans, instead drinking the blood of rats, beavers, and in Beth's case, her beloved kittens. These Marches preach humanitarianism and fight valiantly against vampire slayers, but most of the original plot is preserved. Pride and Prejudice and ZombiesFrom Benicia High School Booktalks 2011-04Benicia Public Library Call Number: YAPBThree-Word-Book Review: Classic vampire classic This book was a fun and creative twist on a classic. I would only recommend this for readers who have obviously read Little Women. It was fun to see how the author adapted the story so that the events would stay so similar to the traditional little women yet include vampires. The story was creative and humorous without losing the lessons like family and gratitude found in the original. In the end you walk away with story as heartening as the first just with more blood and a few wooden stakes.
