From the publisher of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes a new tale of romance, heartbreak, and tentacled mayhem. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters expands the original text of the beloved Jane Austen novel with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, and other biological monstrosities.

As our story opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their childhood home and sent to live on a mysterious island full of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby and the hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels?

This masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen's biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of sea monsters biting. It's survival of the fittest - and only the swiftest swimmers will find true love!

loved I, the narrator's condescending tone made this so deliciously ironic. I found it very entertaining!

sassy, smarty-pants, witty and ironic

The late and great Katherine Kellgren did wonderfully in bringing these characters to life, and the story is hilarious! It is not the original Sense & Sensibility, but it a worth the time to read or listen to. I’ve listened to it at least ten times and I am never disappointed, it never seems to get old, and it has made me want to read the original again.

Super fun read!

All the Jane Austen charm with a delightfully morbid spin. Definitely an interesting take an Col Brandon!! And I couldn’t imagine any narrator reading this better.

Charmingly Dark

I read in some reviews this wasn't as good a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; I disagree. my wife and I laughed more listening to this even without the ninjas. The narrator did a fantastic job; she made the story come to life in a way just reading it wouldn't have. The accent and the dry reading of even the most outlandish passages was perfect. Even Jane Austen would have approved.

perfect narration choice

As with every other review, I have to praise the narrator. Katherine Kellgren is as always a superb narrator with her characteristic knack for accents and complicated voicing. I don't think that any British-styled literature can be found lacking with her talents.

This novel is as you may expect a reworking of the Jane Austen original with, well, Sea Monsters! Warning: If you are coming this way because you read Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, take note that this is a bit different in style. Whereas 'and Zombies' was a faithful 'restyling' very close to the original tale, Ben Winters has taken some very broad liberties and turned the world upside down with the Sea Monster crisis and there are times when the story seems to go on a far tangent in the quirk--this may be good news for some readers, but I personally did not like the immodest additions as much.

But all-in-all, the story itself is entertaining and worth its cost.

At least it's Katherine Kellgren!

I wasn't sure if I would like this book, since it's a rewrite of the original story, but it was fun and ridiculous. I love Katherine Kellgren, she is awesome!

fun and over the top

I've read 'Pride, Prejudice and Zombies' and unlike that book which was a basic hash job of taking an existing story and adding Zombies and the training of the sisters. Here we have a complete rewrite of the story from the beginning to them. I was really not expecting such a complete job to be done on the book as was done. Here we have the same storyline as the original one. However, it has been completely rewritten to change the setting, add the sea monster story line and keep the same characters in line with who they were and how they were written in the original story of 'Sense and Sensibility.' We still have the sister ending up pretty much as they did in the original story line just with some real twists. I have enjoyed reading this book while driving and now and moving on to 'Persuasion'. I recommend this book over the entire 'Pride, Prejudice and Zombies' which to me having been written by two different authors don't flow at all.

No hash job of an old story, a completely new take

"Sub-station Beta" section is a bit steam punk in my mind's eye! Modified classics can be a great way to compare/ contrast for teens. Reading the original along with audio .

Amusing Katherine K. read of a modified class ic

This is a great adaptation-parody. If you know the original but would enjoy comical sea monster gore then you'll enjoy this. I preferred Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but this is also pretty good and the ending has some nice twists! I would indulge in a sequel.

It's What You Should Expect
