he topic for this months book club pick, was a book made into a movie. And since I bought this book years ago I thought I would read it.
What a disappointment.
I thought it was going to be loosely based on the classic novel by Jane Austen, when in actuality it's her novel word for word, but with a few zombies thrown in for good measure....oh and also ninjas, because that makes sense.
I thought this book had quite a good sense of premise about it, but come on get a bit of originality.
I wouldn't particularly reccomend this book.

(Thanks for the free book, @PRHGlobal/@prhinternational) What would you do if you were a woman in a world where your gender is so repressed, you are limited to speaking only 100 words a day, with painful consequences if you break that rule (literally)? Christina Dalcher’s first full-length novel starts out with this premise to build a dystopian society that feels like Atwood on steroids. To find out if that’s a good thing or not, you can read my review of “Vox: A Novel” in my latest book review on my blog here.
