The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A disturbing book. Central is the disintegration of society when the vast majority of the population lost their sight and how man must adapt to such a violent change in circumstance.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The concept of this book fascinated me and I was interested to see if the execution was deft or clumsy. In parts it is very clumsy but that doesn't stop it being very funny. Overall though I prefer the real P & P and Austen's mastery of subtle and ironic comedy.

Nice to see the not so likeable characters in the story get their just deserts though!
