Pride And Prejudice And Zombies: Dawn Of The Dreadfuls (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I've wanted to read this series for awhile, and am finally dipping in. I started with the prequel. It got off to a slow start, but eventually picked up the pace. Overall it was very funny. The story though was pretty meh. What stood out to me was that I felt the characters, specifically the Bennett sisters, were really true to Austen's. I recently saw Death Comes to Pemberley, and was disappointed with the characters. Not sure if it was the casting, but I didn't feel like I was watching Austen's characters. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies wasn't like that at all. Her characters are all there. I'm looking forward to the next installment, and hoping that the story continues to improve. This is a gem of hilarity. Listened to it on tape at work and burst out laughing far more often than seemed proper. Mrs. Bennet's frivolity and all the humor at her expense was my guilty favorite thing, beside the random "dreadfuls" that kept popping up in the middle of everyone's polite conversations. Really fantastic, and the narrator I listened to (Katherine Kellgren) gave a highly amusing performance. Loved this!
