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

2.0

This monster mashup pleased me infinitely less than Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Whereas the latter neatly balances original text and new story, Sense and Sensibility and Seamonster grossly crosses the line and incorporates too much of the new theme. This leads to a very over-the-top novel that at times is barely recognisable as originally Austen's work. There are too many inconsistencies in the narrative, too - if there is danger everywhere, certain activities would be simply impossible. This is an ok read, but more likely to annoy than to thrill in the long run.
