I kept repeating to myself while reading it - I don't even like poetry! I generally don't understand it and I see nothing great about it. But this thing... It really got to me. Incredibly powerful images, full of raw emotion and incredible depth. I fell in love with it.

I'm not really into open endings, but even if I wasn't in love with the last page or so, the whole journey was still worth it. Every Ishiguro I've read so far is. His stories are so unique, there's nothing else like them.

I kept thinking that it wasn't original enough to keep me interested in a story I know so well. It sounds silly, I know, it has zombies in it! But I just couldn't find it in me to keep reading. I first started in October and only got to finish it now (late March) because I purposely only took this one book on a trip with me, so I would be forced to finally be done with it. There was nothing in it to make me pick it up for nearly six months! I think it's a good idea for a movie, not so much for a novel.

Plus I'm not a huge fan of how some of the characters were altered, especially Mr. Bennet (an adulterer and his daughters knew about it AND they were ok with it because everybody hated Mrs. Bennet, apparently) and Lizzie in the last chapter (that speech about Darcy falling in love with her because she was so unlike other silly and shallow women, seriously?).

All in all, not the best fanfiction I've read, but not the worst either.

So much better than Twilight...
