I got my copy the other day - haven't read it yet, but I have glanced at the first chapter and it is HILARIOUS. The conversation between Mr/Mrs Bennet is more or less unchanged in terms of dialogue, but everything happening around it - and the whole subtext of it - is different.
My favourite lines so far:
"Go and see this Bingley if you must, though I warn you none of our girls has much to recommend them: they are all silly and ignorant like their mother, the exception being Lizzie, who has something more of the killer instinct than her sisters."
The business of Mr Bennet's life was to keep his daughters alive. The business of Mrs Bennet's was to get them married."
Obviously I can't tell you if it continues to stick this closely to the original, but given the title and the blurb, I'd guess it does. So yes, it looks very fun.

My BF read it over vacation and I just started it my self. Basically, it is the whole text of "Pride and Prejudice" but the new author has woven in a whole zombie storyline by adding in extra text in the same writing style as the original book.

Hun its just a parody novel from Jane Austen's 1813 book of Pride and Prejudice. and contains elements of zombie figures in the book, nothing much to be amused

I read it a few months ago. It was cute at first, but after awhile it was just stupid. Maybe that's because I'm a real fan of the original.
If is just the original text, with a zombie, martial arts warrior, story line added.

I started it last night. I love P&P and decided to give it a try. I am finding it amusing. It's obviously not great literature but it's a fun read so far.
