I loved Pride and Prejudice, and my husband (an English professor) was very amused by the concept, so I bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
It's not bad. The title pretty much says it all. I had heard somewhere that the text of P&P is unaltered, and all the zombie stuff is just inserted, which I thought was an amusing conceit, but it turns out to not be true (or I misremembered what I heard). However the major plot threads and scenes from P&P seem to all be there.
One of the things I found amusing was all the little euphemisms they had for zombies-- "the sorry stricken" pops to mind, but there were others---as though they could rarely bring themselves to say "zombies" out loud.
