Great first line, it had to be polished, “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”
Zombies and katanas give it the zing the original, tedious novel lacks. Everyone is happy in the end, except for those who deserve a bad end--and the people who turn into zombies.

I wanted to enjoy this book, I really did. I was excited about reading this book. But it just didn't work for me. I liked some scenes, and the additional zombies didn't ruin the story. The problem was that the dialogue and new characters felt kinda shallow.
I had such high hopes, but not even the promise of “ultraviolent zombie action” was able to hold my attention through a Jane Austin novel. I tried. Now on to “World War Z”!
It is Pride and Prejudice with zombies. I was more interested in thinking about how much work it was for the author to write, then the story. If you read and or liked the original, you may not like this vision. I recommend the book World War Z. Now that's a Zombie book.
While amusing, Grahme-Smith was only able to find a handful of zombie/(ninja?) scenarios and terms to regurgitate throughout the book.
