Every character is individually acted and, without being told, at any given time, we know who the speaker in the story is by the way we hear them speak. Kellgren does not narrate a book as much as she performs it. Though I never have, I believe that I could listen to a crappy book and love it if only it were narrated by Katherine Kellgren. There's a lot you can tell from only a person's voice. Who knows, maybe I'm in love with the whole package. I'm in love with Katherine Kellgren's voice. The narrator was absolutely perfect for this book. Listen to this book expecting to suspend disbelief and it will be extremely enjoyable. These include the ability of the Bingley girls to become extremely proficient at the Deadly Arts including the use of Ninja Throwing Stars and Katana in mere days. There are also some elements that may be more unbelievable than the existence of Zombies. He does a good job of attempting to match the Zombie elements of this book with the Grahame-Smith version although the discerning reader will catch several discontinuities. This is done with exquisite mastery of Austen like prose which adds much to the hilarity and enjoyment. In my opinion this allowed the author of this book the freedom to craft a much more more adventurous and fast paced tale.
with the exception of the Zombies and humorous modifications. However, it does not follow the plot of any of Austen's books unlike Grahame-Smith's book which followed the plot of the original Austen book quite faithfully. It is set in Jane Austen's countryside together with the stuffy English society of the time and the Bingley family are the main characters. First I want to emphasize that although written after Grahame-Smith's book, this is a PREQUEL. I wished to convey to others what to expect and the differences between this and the subsequent title Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith. It is not often that I listen to a sample to be smitten enough to immediately download and continue.
