Now, I've read a lot of books that are offshoots of the classic Jane Austen novels (Mr. Darcy's Daughters, The Jane Austen Book Club, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman, etc.) There are so many Austenian novels these days. I have read many and enjoyed some. This one was the most original that I have come across. I saw Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (which I plan to read as soon as I come up, #13, on reserve at the library) a while back at the bookstore. I immediately wanted to read it. What a funny idea! Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters was really pretty funny. I can't even fathom how the idea came to the author, Ben H. Winters. I really did appreciate the twist on the story. I just really liked that it's the same story, but different. Read it, and you'll know what I mean.
