Last month, we had a good discussion about "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (A Swedish language film version is out March 19th)
We liked the set up, the mystery and it's solution, and the surprises along the way. However, I suspected the translation was a little lax, but overall, an exciting, interesting book.
Ideally I'd like to have read the sequel, (and subsequent sequel - just to know what happens to Lisbeth Salander - I understand she's the main subject in the sequels. Though again, the film versions are out in September & November...) but I suspect a lot of the other members of the club wouldn't be interested.
However, as promised, we've chosen another book for next month: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a novel by Seth Grahame-Smith.
Grahame-Smith took the original text of Austen's novel, adding Zombie and Ninja elements and developed an overall plot line for new material.
The story follows the plot of Pride and Prejudice, but places the novel in an alternative universe version of Regency-era England where zombies roam the countryside. Their presence alters the original plot of the story in both subtle and significant ways: Messages between houses are sometimes lost when the couriers are captured and eaten; characters openly discuss and judge the zombie-fighting abilities of others; women weigh the pros and cons of carrying a musket (it provides safety, but is considered "unladylike").
"Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters live on a countryside estate with their parents. Mr. Bennet guides his daughters in martial arts and weapons training, molding them into a fearsome zombie-fighting army; meanwhile, Mrs. Bennet endeavours to marry the girls off to wealthy suitors.
When the wealthy and single Mr. Bingley purchases a nearby house, Mrs. Bennet spies an opportunity and sends the girls to the first ball where Bingley is expected to appear. The girls defend the party from a zombie attack, and attraction sparks between Mr. Bingley and the eldest daughter Jane Bennet. Elizabeth, however, clashes with Bingley's friend, the haughty monster-hunter Fitzwilliam Darcy..."
