Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Review:
-Zombies arrive at Pemberley!
-How does Austen’s language work with zombies?
-Seth Grahame-Smith has a knack for seamlessly blending his and Austen’s language
-STOP talking about Colin Firth, Brittany
-Lady Catherine is even more terrifying here
-The characters are basically the same as Austen only stronger
-Mr. and Mrs. Bennett! Always the same, always great
-Wickham is still awful, but we like what they did in the movie
-Charlotte is infected, girl cannot catch a break
-Fitzwilliam Darcy- movie versus book
-Prequels and sequels, read it or avoid it?
