I posted this in the MM board but no one responded, and since Beezle asked here how it was, i wanted to say that i lost my book at my hotel.
however, i had read enough of it to know that I wasn't really into it.
While I AM going to buy it again, it is simply because I can't bare my library to not have the book in it.
Basically i wasn't into it because the original Pride & Prejudice is one of my all time favorite books. I have read it probably 15 times or something, I have watched every movie/mini series ever made about it over and over and over again. I just simply love teh story. I found it perverted to an extreme with adding zombies and it just made me feel uncomfortable reading it.
Like... like I was being blasphemous or something.
If that makes sense :/
Anyway it was interesting to be sure, and I know that if I had not been such a big fan of the original I would enjoy this book a lot more.
It was just really hard to make myself read it.
and that's never a good sign.

I don't have as many books as I want. And yet I haven't read the all the ones I have. Funny how that works.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to wish you luck tomorrow. Good luck!
Thanks Jim!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Thank you for posting this! I'm a HUGE fan of the original(and the movies/mini series), and a coworker of mine sent out an email about the "new" zombie filled one and my first reaction was "Ohnose! Terrible!" but everyone else seemed excited. I don't think they understood where I was coming from about my reaction. Maybe like it feels tainted?! Maybe I'll pick it up from the library one day...but in the mean time, I'll hold on to the original!
