Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
The New York Times best seller is now a major motion picture starring Lily James and Sam Riley, with Matt Smith, Charles Dance, and Lena Headey.
Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an audacious retelling of English literature's most enduring novel. This expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem begins when a mysterious plague falls upon the quiet English village of Meryton--and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers--and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. It's the perfect read for literature lovers, zombie fans, and anyone who loves a reanimated Austen.

I was excited about getting into this book. I've watched a couple of trailers for the new film in theatres, and so I wanted to do my due diligence before viewing the film to read the book.
But I found myself bored and struggling to wade through this book. Much of the text is straight from P&P with just a bit of zombie action thrown in. I think I was hoping for something more. I don't like quitting on a book, but I also am learning that life is too short to read books that I don't find interesting!
