The original text is just so bland that this was the perfect compliment to spice everything up, how could Jane Austen have not read though her manuscript and thought to herself, "Of course! Zombies and Ninjas!" had she had the forsight to make this simple addition I might have actually read Pride and Prejudice in high school. This is the sort of book that needs to be taught in schools these days. This book was almost seemless in it's integration of zombie mayhem and ninjas. this is a great book and it is very funny a great way to get into Jane Austen novels. A great book for teenagers and young adults. I loved it and you will too.
