Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

I saw that my friend had ordered this book, and I thought that maybe it was a joke, or some kind of book of essays. I never expected to see it on NPR, and I definately didn't that that it was actually Pride and Prejudice re-written. I think this is amazing. I can see the point of view of people that are/will be upset by it, and I get that. This is a classic book that has been popular for a long, long time. To take it and make a joke out of it by adding zombies into it might seem a bit..disrepectful. I, on the other hand, love zombies and all things horror. I like the story of Pride and Prejudice, but I do find it somewhat boring. I will be picking this book up at some point.
