Guess what? I finally had time to finish Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters! While this quirky classic is not as good as its predecessor, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, it was still enjoyable and it reminded me of how much I loved the original classic.
I must admit, the beginning of the novel didn't really grab me that much; I thought it was a little bit over the top, trying a bit too hard ... and so forth. It mde me wonder why I liked Sense and Sensibility so much compared to Pride and Prejudice (coz I totally loved Zombies!), but then as I read along, I started to remember the reason why. I still believe whole-heartedly that the love story/ies in Sense and Sensibility/and Sea Monsters, is much more believable than the ones in Pride and Prejudice/Zombies (though Zombies made me feel it more than in the original classic). So, I won't recommend this book to everyone, but I do recommend it to those people who enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, coz if you love quirky, well... you'll love this quirky novel.
