pride prejedice and crap

pride and prejudice was already a satyr on English society. so to bring in zombies into this story made this very difficult to read. and to add zombies into the story made it a satyr about a satyr. the book it's self was very slow and drawn out, i found it very impossible to care for any of the characters. the fact that the book jumped from character to character was really annoying. half the time i did not know what the hell was going to or who was speaking. the only thing that kept this story remotely interesting for me were the action scenes, which were few and thrown in at random places within the story that made little or no sense. i cannot say whether or not being a fan of Jane Austin's work would have had any effect on me or my views of the story, or whether or not having never read any of Austin's work. but i can say this after reading this book i would never want to

frankenstein

i found Frankenstein to be a very sad novel. in the failure to create the perfect man, was left with something less and because of that branded his creation "monster" which gave allowed it to be killed. i felt the book showed us we were the monsters. the book was very feminine no doubt Mary Shelly's views on society underline the entire story.
