Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith

Ah, the benefits to a good book of a classic first line. 'Call me Ishmael.' 'It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.' Who can forget Iain Banks' 'It was the day my grandmother exploded'? Or those timeless words by Ja ... (read full critics)

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a brand as successful and limited as the Jane Austen industry must be in want of diversification. (It is a further truth that anyone writing about Austen must begin with a variant of that sentence.) Even th ... (read full critics)

One of the best novels ever

If you love good books you cannot miss this one. It's the perfect mix of wit, good plot, great characters and a story that is never old or boring. Definitely a must for everyone.

i can't believe I bought this (even if it's so cheap), for I have read this many many times. The thing is, every time I pick it up, I can't put it down. I love this book!

Piacere, sono Lorenzo, e sono la prevedibilità

Tutti hanno un Io letterario. E io, stanco di essere additato come tale, ho deciso di leggere il libro della mia controparte letteraria, alias Elizabeth Bennett.

Tutti hanno un Io letterario. E io, stanco di essere additato come tale, ho deciso di leggere il libro della mia controparte letteraria, alias Elizabeth Bennett. E porca miseria, mi sa che la gente non ha tutti i torti, se non per un particolare: il lieto fine con Mr Darcy. La mia ammirazione per Lizzy non ha eguali, e soprattutto la sua decisa opposizione al pretendente, alle convenzioni e a ciò che non le è congeniale, fanno di lei una delle mie icone. Che tristezza vero? Molta. Ma è ciò che penso. Ottimo libro, lettura svelta e scorrevole, pochi punti morti, narrazione efficace e molto acuta. Non innamoratevi di Mr Darcy, come è successo al sottoscritto, appunto, la prevedibilità.

Basta aprire un libro e.... eccovi catapultati nel mondo di Jane Austen, nel mondo di Pride and Prejudice.
Un libro perfetto, dove ogni cosa è perfettamente bilanciata: l'ironia, il romanticismo, la semplice raffinatezza della scrittura, tutto è nella sua giusta misura.
Un capolavoro.
