A review by cleverruhs
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Ben H. Winters, Jane Austen

5.0

I thought this book was pretty amazing. It wasn't as ridiculous and histerically funny as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was, but it was quite possibly a better-crafted adaptation. Chock full of sailors and gory fights with sea monsters, this novel was clever and full of enjoyable twists and turns. I would recommend it to anyone who has already read, and liked, Sense and Sensibility--but take note that if you don't like Jane Austen's writing style, you probably won't enjoy this book. Co-auther Ben Winters managed to keep a good bit of Austen's original language, so, Fang-Beasts aside, it still felt a bit like I was reading one of her novels.
