Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith
3.0
A fair followup to P&P&Z, detailing how the Bennet girls acquired their skills in the "deadly arts."
Though Hockensmith fails to capture the true essence of Austen's characters in actions, dialog and overall humor, he manages to maintain their spirit, though it is a little flat at times.
There are some contradictions the reader may notice after having read the first book, but as this is all in good fun, they should just shrug them off and enjoy the book for what it is.
With a third book having recently been released, I can't say I'm too enthusiastic about picking it up, due to the fact that I think, in the right hands, a better job could have been done.
Still, if you enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and want another taste of Austen-flavored brains, it might be worth your time.
