Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After

What a rollicking good romp through Austen`s book. I have enjoyed the other two in this series and this one did not disappoint. There were so many twists and turns to keep up with it made my head spin! It was light hearted and easy going and I actually think I liked it the best.

Brilliant. Excellent Listen

Loved reading the books and this is a great way to relive the story if you don't have time to sit and read the book.

an amazing story!

an amazing story that nicely ties up loose ends from Dawn of the Dreadfuls and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. As a Jane Austen fanatic, I was bracing myself for disappointment with this book, but like Dawn of the Deadfuls and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies that came before it, it is a brilliant adaptation of Jane's beloved Bennet family and I loved it!

pride and prejudice with zoombies

really good ending especially for CatherinDe-Burgh! and her sniffling daughter. Mr and Mrs Darcy as always have the happiest of endings despite Elizabeths mother.

Finally managed to complete the trilogy!

What made the experience of listening to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After the most enjoyable?

Having first read Pride, Prejudice & Zombies some years ago after it was recommended by my uni lecturer, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the other two novels in the series - this one was by far my favourite

What did you like best about this story?

The continued development of the original Austen characters (albeit in this parallel, zombie infested universe) and the way the writer managed to stay in keeping with the feel of an Austen novel while simultaneously turning everything on its head!

What aspect of Katherine Kellgren’s performance might you have changed?

Her accents were somewhat hammed up (and her Scottish accent was apalling) - but if you could overcome this & focus on the content rather than the narrator then the book was still enjoyable

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not moved, but I enjoyed the developmen of Kitty Bennet's character and her blossoming relationship with Nesu

Any additional comments?

If you are an Austen purist, avoid these novels - if however, you enjoy seeing how classics can be adapted and changed, this is a good series to start with.

Pride and Prejudice Dreadful Saga

These three books are simply fantastic. At the beginning I was a little put off by the 'copy and paste' style of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but I enjoyed the action parts nonetheless. When I read the second book, Dawn of the Dreadfuls, I was totally hooked. Lots and lots of action and a good insight in young Elisabeth's life. The last book, Dreadfully ever after, is pure magic. Lots more character studies of the girls, and quite a creative view of the 'Z' catastrophe in England. Fun, but if you're looking for depth, go elsewhere. These books make you laugh!

Great final entry

Loved the story! The accents were a little cringy but overall a thoroughly entertaining listen!

Pride and prejudice and Zombies

I really did not expect to like this book so much but I was so very wrong. It was brilliant, loved every minute. So proper but so gory as well. Best book I have listened to for a while. Fantastic.

Palpable relief

I cannot say that this sequel is as enjoyable as the first however, that does not make it bad. The plot threw a good many obstacles between our hero’s and their happiness and My panic and frustration was enough to keep me listening. Sadly it lacks the beautiful prose of Austen to make it as special and funny as the original monster mash. I cannot deny that I was invested and I enjoyed the scope that Hockensmith brought to this imagined world. More rules were established and it felt much more fleshed out (pardon the term). I was also happy to see the message of accepting change, and questioning exclusionary norms. Read it if you want to see more of this world and these characters.
The performance by Kellgren was once again the saving grace in many ways. Listen to this for her intoxicating performance. While the occasional voice felt over blown it did not jar too much due to the comedic nature of the book.

A bit of a slog

This audiobook is nicely narrated but I found the story a bit of a slog about half way through.

I enjoyed this more than the second book in the series, but I think maybe the zombie thing is a little dull for me now. Perhaps I'm just not that into zombie stories.
