I'm looking forward to this book's release!
Just the idea of it is wonderful! I don't know how someone came up with the idea of combining Jane Austen and zombies.
This does not sound like something I'd enjoy at all! ;) However, I see you're reading The Likeness. Whoohooo! What a great book. I just posted my review here. Hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. It's my first 5/5 this year!
I just finished The Likeness -- I loved it! Maybe more than In the Woods.
Thank you for your kind words.
I am definitely not an Austen purist but the sound of this book is quite frankly, weird! I may have to take a peek at it in the bookshop - I cannot imagine how it could be done :-0
It is totally weird! I cannot imagine what made someone think, "Humh -- I should combine Austen and zombies -- that would make the perfect novel!"
I think this looks hysterical - I'm hoping someone gives it to me for my birthday. If not, I'm just going to go buy it.
I just finished this book and really, I loved it. If you don't mind a little zombie killing or brain eating, you'll enjoy it.
At least it's completely written in the same Jane Austen style - even with dismemberment, it's done tastefully. And you still want Elizabeth and Darcy to get together in the end, but will they? I kept wondering if the zombies would get her, just to make it a bit different.
Totally recommend it!
