Kate P, Book Goddess
Seriously. if it wasn’t for her I probably would not have heard of or bought Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, and I would have missed out on the funniest book I’ve read in a long long time.
Now I freely admit that P&P is a book and story that I know very well, and I laughed out loud this weekend reading lines like this
“His sisters were fine women, with an air of decided fashion, but little in the way of combat training.”
The way the zombie story is woven into Austen’s words is brilliant, and with one notable exception it works exceedingly well (and no I’m not going to spoil anything by mentioning the one plot element that rings false, at least to me).
For a quick, fun read I highly recommend it.

Ha! I’ve seen the title before but hadn’t really considered reading it. I may have to do so now.
The book was all over the beach this weekend. Gonna have to read it just for the Michael Jackson in drag cover.
PS. Couple new MJ jokes:
Did you hear they’re burying him face down?
That’s so the kids recognize him.

Farah Fawcett reaches Heaven and meets St. Peter.
“God is you biggest fan and want to meet you,” he tells her. Off they go to God’s throne.
God praises her work and grants her one wish. Farah, not wanting to sound selfish, asks God to keep all the children safe.
MJ dies four hours later.

By the way, there’re some good and gross MJ jokes coming around. Want to hear them?
Good!
Hear they’re buyring him face down?
They want the kids to recognize him.
MJ died of food poisoning. He ate an 8-year-old weiner.
What do pimples and MJ have in common?
Pimples at least wait until you’re 13 to come on your face.
Farah Fawcett meets St. Pete at the Pearly Gates. SAt. Pete tells her God’s a big fan and want to meet her. Off they do the The Throne. God says, “I’m a really big fan so I’m going to grant you one wish.”
Farah, not wanting to sound selfish, says, “Please keep all the children safe.”
MJ dies four hours later.
I have no clue why that happened.
Bingley–Glad you enjoyed it! Wasn’t it even more hilarious when the story we all know and love took one crazy turn after another? You’ll have to e-mail me and tell me which plot point was troublesome to you.
Whats the difference between a grocery bag and Michael Jackson?
One’s white, plastic and no safe for your children to pay with.
The other you use to bring your groceries back home.
