I have said this before on my other blog that I thought it was a joke when I first heard, but it's not.
P&P&Z reads like a lost script of Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, and I could not keep the idea of Mr. Darcy being played by the actor David Boreanaz (as the evil Angelus) out of my head.
It's got all the romance we have come to love of P&P, and the witty one liners we have come to love of BTVS.
The idea of Lady Catherine having a personal team of Ninjas is a riot in itself, but the idea that cauliflower is the perfect trap for zombies, I would not have thought.
So many things that have left people wondering about the characters over the years are addressed in this version of the story. (Lydia being infact the town tramp and Mrs. Bennet making a move on Mr. Dacry in a subtle way)
Most of the minor characters have been given all new endings (Wickham being injured to the point of needing someone to change his depends) and a few personality traits are added to the major characters (Darcy being violent) but the story holds up.
I can not wait to see the movie version of this and the next offering from Quirk Classics.
I can't believe that you actually have me interested in reading this now.....!
