LOL <br /><br />This is a fad of the moment to me.

I'm saving myself for one of the Little Women mashups with vampires or werewolves - because I figure just one of this type of book will be a novelty and still worth checking out.

Anyway, it's another free adaptation of a classic (not Austen, but known all the same) turned into a vampire story. I felt exactly the same way as you did with this one : it didn't add anything to the story. It was like reading the original novel a second time, with a few vampire things added. I thought it was way too easy, and not interesting at all. <br /><br />I'm going to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies though, I want to see how this one works out.<br /><br />Thanks for the review !<br /><br />:)Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270683124723296786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120123804740418837.post-59913697515377787462010-02-23T11:35:13.789-05:002010-02-23T11:35:13.789-05:00Great review.
