    I really am lost for words. One website suggest putting this book on your list of things that are unbelievably awesome. I suggest that for, "awesome" you read, "shite".

    Just when I thought nothing could make Edwardian snobbery interesting. I was wrong! If it's brains Zombies crave, I guess Miss Austen's heroines will satiate them?

    As long as the don't make Mr Darcy any less swoon-worthy than Colin Firth, it's alright with me.

    Now, excuse me, I'm off to read Zom Bieote (geddit?)

    Sir B - You do know that every time you say "awesome", God strangles a kitten? FACT.

    I think "shite" is OK.

    Laura - Braaaaaaains!

    Anna - Here is a picture of Sancho Panza listening to his master. You couldn't make it up.

    It's nice to see zombies finally making it into the mainstream without the usual disguises. I'm fairly certain that a lot of chick lit authors are actually zombies, they've just never come out officially though it is obvious to the rest of us that they are brain dead.

    Lesley - You have been away for a while, haven't you?

    On reflection, Gone With The Zombies should probly be called Groan With The Wind.
