Pride and Prejudice and Zombies By: Seth Grahame-Smith Mini Review

Guys, I'm sorry this review has taken me ages to write. I could only do a mini review for it at that because really I just wanted to be done with this book and never think about it again. Simply put, I didn't enjoy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I was hoping I would even though...

CONFESSION TIME...

I didn't like Pride and Prejudice. I know, I know what you are thinking. I am the only one that didn't like P&P and so now you think I'm a weirdo. It's okay. So why did I read this one? Well ZOMBIES! Please don't shoot me P&P fans. First I tell you I dislike Mr. Darcy and now you know I hated the whole book as well. :x

I actually bought this book not long after it came out and I decided I should read Pride and Prejudice first. Well since I didn't like P&P I put off reading this book until I saw the movie was coming out. At that point I figured I might as well go ahead and read it. Unfortunately. even the zombies couldn't help this book out much. It was pretty horrible for me and I think I will just pretend I never read this. I probably will watch the movie anyway because it looks different from the book and maybe I will like it.

Overall I did not like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I thought it was better than Pride and Prejudice, but even with the zombies it was a fail. I can't say that it was a bad book and I can see why others might like it, but it was not for me.

I can't personally recommend this one to anybody, but if it looks interesting then give it a shot! If you liked Pride and Prejudice and you like zombies then chances are you would like this book.

I do really like this picture though. I like it a lot more than I liked the book. Haha!

The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever By: Jeff Strand Review

I'm not really sure where to start with a review for this one. I've been taking some time to try and decide what to say about it, but honestly there isn't a lot to say. This was a very 3 star book for me. Was The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever the greatest book ever? No. Was it a horrible book? No.

The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever was...decent. It was extremely hilarious in parts and a little dull in other parts. This was one of those books that while I was reading it I was interested, but the second I set it down I didn't feel any desire to pick it back up. I feel like I just didn't connect to anything in the book. The characters were funny, the plot wasn't slow, and it wasn't a rough read. I just didn't connect with this one.

Overall The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever was okay. 3 stars is not a bad rating at all. It was still pretty enjoyable in parts. I liked the fact that they were trying to make a zombie movie, but this wasn't regular zombie book. This is not a horror zombie novel. It's a humor novel about filming a zombie movie.

I would recommend this one if you are looking for a light and funny read. The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever would make a great book to read between heavy reads. If  you are looking for something super silly then this would be a great one to pick up.

Waiting on Wednesday- The Burning World (Warm Bodies #2) By: Isaac Marion

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature/meme hosted here at Breaking the Spine . The idea behind it is to share upcoming releases that we can't wait to get our hands on!

My pick for this week is The Burning World By Isaac Marion. This is the second book in the Warm Bodies series. I picked this one because I really, really enjoyed the first one. Back in 2011 when I read Warm Bodies I had no idea what to expect. I randomly picked up this book at the bookstore not long after it came out and I honestly had no clue what I was getting into! At first I was a bit unsure what I was reading exactly. However, I ended up thinking the book was pretty humorous, in an odd way. I am hoping that The Burning World has the same charm to it. I enjoy the whole zombie thing and I can't wait to see what R is up to!

Expected Publication Date: August 9, 2016

Summary From Goodreads: 

Being alive is hard. Being human is harder. But since his recent recovery from death, R is making progress. He's learning how to read, how to speak, maybe even how to love, and the city's undead population is showing signs of life. R can almost imagine a future with Julie, this girl who restarted his heart--building a new world from the ashes of the old one. 

And then helicopters appear on the horizon. Someone is coming to restore order. To silence all this noise. To return things to the way they were, the good old days of stability and control and the strong eating the weak. The plague is ancient and ambitious, and the Dead were never its only weapon. 

How do you fight an enemy that's in everyone? Can the world ever really change? With their home overrun by madmen, R, Julie, and their ragged group of refugees plunge into the otherworldly wastelands of America in search of answers. But there are some answers R doesn't want to find. A past life, an old shadow, crawling up from the basement. 

Anyone else looking forward to this second book in the Warm Bodies series? What books are you waiting for? 

A Mad Zombie Party By: Gena Showalter Review

View on Goodreads

So this was me when I heard that Gena Showalter was writing another Alice in Zombieland book...

...and well this was me after reading the book. 

Okay, that's not really how I was. Not 100% anyway. I did REALLY like it.

A Mad Zombie Party was enjoyable, but I didn't love it like I did the other three books in the series. For one thing the beginning of the book was very hard for me to get in to. Now I've been sick off and on for a week or so, but that wasn't the problem. No, the problem was that the beginning of the book was dull for me and I was still hating Camilla from shit  *ish* that went down in the last book. Now I'm supposed to like her and root for her?? 

Once I got over that (I DID!) the book did get better, but it just seemed to be missing the magic the other three books had. The plot was okay, but as far as the "big bad" it really seemed to be more talking then things actually happening. I never really believed anyone was in grave danger or anything. The zombies really took a backseat in this book too. I found A Mad Zombie Party to be more about tying up lose ends for Frosty romantically and to have a nice ending (it was wrapped up perfectly with a matching bow) all around for the whole group. I have to admit I do like having a more concrete ending. 

Of course Gena Showalter's romance writing is amazing in this book (as always) and I was surprised that by the end I was rooting for the romance! BY THE WAY I recommend this series by Gena Showalter if you like her romance stuff in the Alice in Zombieland series or Paranormal Romance novels: The Darkest Night <----- Seriously this series is amazing too!! 

Overall I enjoyed the fourth Alice in Zombieland book. A Mad Zombie Party isn't QUITE as good as the other three novels, but it was still pretty darn good. I recommend A Mad Zombie Party for .... fans of the other books in the series!! Also, if you haven't read any of this series I recommend you go pick up the first book NOW. Or YESTERDAY. :P
