I, personally, think these "reinventions" are brilliantly hilarious ideas. Having said that, a true Austen fan absolutely has to look at them as a gag, which is the way I think they were intended to be taken. Taking them as a serious attempt to improve Jane Austen's work by commissioning zombies to interrupt Elizabeth and Darcy's romance would be almost offensive.<br />I take it as good-natured satire and get quite a kick out of it. (Hey, if nothing else, it might get some guys to read Jane Austen!)<br />I, of course, still far prefer the originals!Sarah M Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08496833468568204150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519413860885906550.post-18132508487527157382010-03-01T23:47:50.317-07:002010-03-01T23:47:50.317-07:00I haven't read any of the "mash-ups"...I haven't read any of the "mash-ups" of her novels myself, but I've certainly stared in dismay at a lot of them.
