So I had to try this one after doing the P&P&Z trilogy last year. The whole Quirk Book thing has been hit or miss, and this one was a miss for me. Part of what I liked about the first P&P&Z book was how seamlessly the zombie story was integrated with Austen’s original. Not so much with this book.
The story took us too far away from the original, putting the Dashwoods in ridiculous peril, pitting them against the entire undersea world (rivers, lakes, everything wants to kill people), and don’t even get me started on what happens to Margaret. Instead of going to London, now they go to an underwater city (how stupid is that, when everything aquatic hates people?).
Ugh. Never mind. I’m close to getting all my reviews done and there’s no reason to waste time or effort on this one. This review, and this book.
