Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- A Review

This is what I am reading right now. Or should I say attempting to read. This book did not live up to my expectations. The basic outline remains the same with all the witty retorts ect, but after starting this book, You have to wonder if the author actually read the original text or if he had indeed even seen any zombie movies. The exchanges between the main characters have been shorn, becoming even more contrived than in the Austin novel. Seth Grahame smith's Zombies seem more of a badly fitted distraction. Not only that, the scenes are glazed over while the zombies are characterless and decidely unscary.
And kung fu fighting? Regardless of the total implausibility of training in the oriental arts, the dresses these women were supposed to be wearing throughout this ridiculous story would of made the movements totally impossible.
