As a human being who never read any of the 'classics', I'm finding these quirky classics enjoyable but really, are they saturating the market a little bit too much?
Is Jane Austin and co turning over in their graves or would they find it humerous and exciting that people like me, who never read these books, are now finding a place in my heart for them?
I loved Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as well as Mr Darcy Vampire (secretly, I'm looking forward to a zombie/Vampire version of Wuthering Heights - maybe its already out there) and this undead novel isn't as funny as the others and I found I didn't really work out if Jane, Emma etc knew the men or woman were actual Vampires or not. It really was unbelievable (yes, I know how that sounds) in the sense that the people knew there were other people out there with black eyes which turned red once married and that no-one ate at any of the dinners or balls and that everyone was pale and even the father couldn't cope with silver crosses.
Is there something I am missing, perhaps I missed that paragraph which put my mind at ease, or back then, were the folk really that blind in this story? Yes, there were crazy Vampires out there which Emma and Harriet and co managed to be-head but are the aristocrat Vampires good instead of bad...hmm...I missed that point.
Anywho, I've still got a few of these 'quirky classics' to ponder over, so keep tuned, maybe express to me your thoughts on this particular book.....I'd be interested to know...
