Pride and Prejudice and Zombies- OH MY!

Craig Gillespie to Direct Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Yet another book being made into a movie! This is one that I have to say excites me. I am a Jane Austin Fan, as so many of us are. It's hard not to be :o]
This book takes a look at the classic Pride and Prejudice and introduces---ZOMBIES!
It takes the classic story and gives it a paranormal twist, introducing Zombies along with other supernatural happenings. I think all fans of Jane's will see that the author didn't do this to disrespect Jane. It is actually more of an honor; using her book and giving it a scary yet fun paranormal twist, giving readers a taste of Jane and hopefully sparking their interest enough to read her books, if they haven't already. Besides, I Heart me a good zombie book or movie.
There is some controversy about Jane's books being disrespected by being changed in such a manner but the way I look at is that she just might be flattered.
I guess we'll never know but for this reader, I'm going to go with the flow and see where it takes me.
ZOMBIES - OH MY - I CAN'T WAIT! HOW ABOUT YOU?

Isn't she just lovely? I'm sure she'll have no trouble finding someone to bite---I meant court her, after all, in those days if you had GOOD TEETH, you were considered quite the beauty and healthy as a horse. Good feeding, I mean breeding stock!
If you haven't read this, I haven't but I plan to, maybe give it a chance! Sounds like it could be a book that will take a good chomp out of you and leave you wanting more---perhaps a finger or two?
Happy Saturday All!
