John Wofford reviews Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for Patrol. He writes:
“In Smith’s promises that Zombies transforms Austen’s ‘masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read,’ and press materials that declare Austen ‘unavailable for media contact,’ Pride and Prejudice and Zombies becomes a calculated twist on our own media-saturated, nothing-as-sacred/everything-as-entertainment approach to … well, everything.”
Surely everyone knows that our mass consumption of media, in which everything heady is dialed down for easy access, would lead to the compromise of our cultural integrity -— a great, gruesome sacrifice on the altar of the Church of Michael Bay.
Awesome, awesome, awesome quote.
