This spring sees the arrival of two anticipated additions to the ever-swelling Pride and Prejudice canon: Burr Steers’s film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s bestselling literary-horror mash-up of the same title, in which the Bennet girls defend themselves against a bloodthirsty army of the undead and Eligible, Curtis Sittenfeld’s novel that swaps early 19th Century England for contemporary Cincinnati. When it comes to much-loved literary classics, the process of adaptation is fraught enough but when it comes to spin-offs and re-imaginings the ante is upped significantly. ![]() ![]() “I am not hormonal.” I fake glare at him.” She’s got her lovey-dovey look on.”Īs Is gazes at Devyn with her own lovey-dovey look, he says, “Yeah.

I feel they were all well written and well balanced with the rest of the story. ![]() The story focuses a lot on hockey, so there are a lot of scenes that take place on the ice. While realistic, it did feel a bit too much at times. The only thing I could have done without is the excessive drinking. The friendships were really wonderful in this one.

I loved their whole team, especially Darian and Barbie. ![]() I absolutely loved Jaysen and I liked the connection between him and Mickey. The side characters are really great in this story. While I didn't fully understand the reasons behind the decisions made by some family members, I appreciated how everything worked out in the end.
