Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

I just finished the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. When I first heard about this book I was mildly offended. Pride is one of my all time favorite stories. The buzz about how popular the Seth Grahame Smith reboot was convinced me to give it a shot. I wish I had stayed with my first instinct. This book was a complete waste of my time. I realize it was written in fun but the addition of zombies has done nothing but make the story ridiculous. The author stumbles through the story giving vicious ends here and there. The banter about balls and soiling oneself I could have done without. I believe that if this story had been rewritten by a women who loved Pride, then great things could have been achieved. Don't waste your time with this one. The original story is a thousand times more enjoyable the way it was originally intended.

I just recently read the book What Was Lost by Catherine OFlynn. This is her first novel I've heard and it was great. The novel starts as a sweet father and daughter story that turns into a sad missing child case. The story evolves slowly and has interesting characters throughout. When the story picks up years after Kate disappeared your still as curious as everyone what happened. This is a great novel for anyone to enjoy and at 256 pages it is great over the summer weekends.
