Pride, Prejudice and Zombies

The Novel that was selected for this week is Pride and Prejudice and zombies, this is a book I have never and in fact I have never read a Jane Austen book in my life. But I have to say that it wasn’t all that bad of a book. I could actually stand to read it and it wasn’t that difficult to understand. I do believe that with the type of language that they use in the novel, that it takes place in the early 1800’s but I could be wrong. The book seems to focus on a small town with really rich people.
So in the beginning Mr. And Mrs. Bennett are talking amongst themselves and Mr. Bennett first tells his wife that this really rich guy is in town named Mr.Bingley and it would be nice if they could get one of there four daughter’s called upon but Mr.Bingley favors the oldest child Elizabeth the most, and Mrs. Bennett doesn’t appreciate that but anyways what I’m getting is I think its weird that Mrs. Bennett is mainly focused on getting her four girls married off and her husband just wants the girls to be safe from all of the zombies and could really careless about getting them married off, so he put them all into deadly arts. In my opinion if my mom was only concerned about getting my sister and I married off I would be pissed, because there is more to life then just marriage go and explore the world. I think its kind of strange that nobody ever call them zombies except for maybe one or two times in the whole novel they are known to man as the unmentionables. I mean why can’t they call them zombies that’s what they are. Another thing why dress the dead in fine clothes I mean I know that we do it know but then they were just put in some dirt. I love when the Bennett’s daughter’s are at the ball, there dancing and singing and then all of a sudden the unmentionables climb through the windows and start feasting on the people and then the girls just whip out there knives and kill them all I just find that amusing, its just so random I guess.
Ok more towards the end of the book when Elizabeth is over at Bingley’s house, they left the cellar door opened to let the night air in and then the unmentionables were found the next day feasting upon a dozen servants, some maids a couple of cooks and a steward. Ok so if you knew that this plague was going on and there were zombies everywhere I’m sorry but wouldn’t you make sure that the door was closed so you wouldn’t get infected.
All right I will try and wrap it up now I like the ending when Elizabeth ends up marrying Darcy even though Lady Catherine is kind of a bitch to them and doesn’t want them to get married, I honestly think that she’s jealous of Elizabeth. One other thing why do the people stay in England and fight off the zombies why not just move to another town and find safety away from the zombies.
