Do you have to read 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen first before you read this book or is it unnecessary?

I think you can treat this as a stand alone book. If you read the original first it's easier to spot the little in jokes and the satire of the period it's set in I suppose, but the plot is easy to follow without prior knowledge and there's enough violence etc to keep you interested.(less)

Did this change/ruin the way you viewed the love story of Lizzy & Darcy forever? I want to read it because it sounds funny, I just worry that reading this will ruin how I view one of my favorite love stories.

Austen's books, and am a huge fan of P&P. I picked this book up when it first came out - knowing that it was going to be a tongue in cheek sort of book. I don't find that it changed my view of P&P or the beloved Lizzy and Darcy in the least.

It actually stuck extremely close to the original story line as far as chronological events go - with the exception of zombies terrorizing England and Lizzy and her sisters being katana carrying ninja warriors. I loved this book - it made me laugh, but it hasn't changed my view of Lizzy and Darcy, or their love story in the least. I've even gone back and read P&P, (for the umpteenth time,) since I have read this book - and I still love it as much as I did before!(less)

To Whoever Read This: Is this easy to read in english? Please, answer. P.S: I am from Argentina ;)

Amanda I think it's much easier to read than the original Pride and Prejudice, so if you've read that in English then this one should be easier. P.S.
