It's so kitschy, and while I thought P&P&Z was fun, it just left me thinking I should be reading the original.

Will I read them? Probably not, but I am not totally against them. Now seeing the Meowmorphosis, however, I feel the way you do. I find it almost disrespectful. It's <i>so</i> absurd and is obviously poking fun. In such a meaningful book as I think The Metamorphosis is, it just doesn't seem right. :/Shehttp://www.historyofshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-37169802459099474522011-04-14T20:19:26.689-04:002011-04-14T20:19:26.689-04:00I agrees tha t one or two was amusing but mow it s...I agrees tha t one or two was amusing but mow it seems to have gotten out of control.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-81453179024409606412011-04-14T17:04:07.413-04:002011-04-14T17:04:07.413-04:00It probably isn't fair of me to even say anyth...It probably isn't fair of me to even say anything because I've not read any of them (although I do have Pride and Prejudice and Zombies on my shelves).
