I have now read 5 short chapters of both the original Pride and Prejudice and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Definitely prefer the funny zombie book. The two are way more similar than I expected. I have a lot more reading to do before next Monday... How does this even work? Whatever. I'll just sit back and have a dollar PBR while everyone else discusses.
Some of my favorite comparisons:
Original: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Zombie: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.
Original: NA
Zombie: "They shall be as deadly as they are fetching" - Mrs. Bennet about her daughters (this line was added between two original paragraphs)
Original: "That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."
Zombie: "That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine. I dare say I would've cut his throat had not the unmentionables prevented me from doing so."

Ha ha- good post, my dear. I'm just about to start reading it (not a slacker... since I can't actually be present for the meeting, mind you)
ReplyDeleteI'm just proud that you will be drinking PBR at our meeting. Makes me heart swell.
