Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is available in Singapore! Yay! It released on 1st April in the US and I had been looking out if there were any yet here. Kinokuniya had it few days later and on the 4th, I GOT MY COPY! I was informed of it via twitter that it was spotted near the cashier and new books! Hurray! At the moment of this post, I don’t know if Borders has stocked them up yet.
And yes, I actually went to get a picture of it with the Merlion in the background just to show it’s here, cause hey, it is a landmark!
At Kino, it costs $24.95 (that’s SGD of course). With an inner page like that, I don’t know how you can’t resist reading it. The first line goes like this:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.
Seriously.
Although it is the classic story of P&P I wouldn’t wish to spoil the story too much! It has zombies and yet it has interesting ninjas, violence and all sorts of kung fu-ery. Included in the book are illustrations of some scenes such as Elizabeth and her sisters in a formation to kill all the zombies while at a party.
Currently I’m at the scene where Darcy has confessed his love to Elizabeth and she rejects him. I have no idea what’s going to happen in the end so we shall see. In any case, there’s plenty of summaries and reviews online too so I shall not divulge spoilers!
There’s just so many quote worthy dialogue and actions in there and how characters start to die from attacks!
If you like literature with a side of violent zombie fighting, this is the book for you!
