LEXILE 1070
I began to read this book last summer — not this past summer of 2010 but laaaaaaaaast summer, as in August 2009. I bought it special for myself as a treat after having surgery when I knew I would have several days of lounging on the sofa to look forward to. And I haven't finished reading it yet . . .
I've never been a fan of old-fashioned writing, but I do like the idea of being familiar with some of the classics that either I never read or have forgotten about reading in high school. I thought the addition of zombies would make this masterpiece more readable, but boy was I wrong!
I've been pecking away at this book for way too long, and I just can't seem to get through it. One night a few months ago I watched the movie on television and my interest was temporarily renewed. But now it looks like I just don't care enough about the fiesty Bennet sisters to bother reading the last 92 pages.
