Nothing offended me more than in first year university English when I had to listen to a classroom full of people gripe and moan about Jane Austen, and how they thought Pride and Prejudice was like a soap opera. I sat there and blew steam out of my ears and looked forward to the day when I could discuss the book with people who actually understood how brilliant it was that you could compare her book, written between and , with a modern soap opera.

The sisters and Mrs. Winters has an opportunity to take a promising tale of two sisters and ameliorate it with his marine menaces. This one painting truly captures the essence of what the Quirk re-workings are all about. I definitely understand why lovers of classic literature would be hestiant to read these oddball re-writes, but I'm glad I picked this one up to try! Inspired by Your Browsing History.
But for Christmas this year, my good friend Mel gave me Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, and I've got to say, I think Quirk Publishing might have just found the way to make this book fun even for the nay-sayers! They started with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which I'm going to have to pick up now, since pride was always my fave anyhow , and then moved on to Sense and Sensibility. Sense and Sensibility with Sea Monsters, is a great parody all in that dry humor vein which is so classically Austen. To begin with the book seems nearly identical to the original except for the comments thrown in to set up the sea monster theme; lots of them very comical.
For instance Willoughby is a treasure hunter, and wears a wet suit for the entire book no matter what he's doing "Marianne began now to perceive that the desperation which had seized her at sixteen and a half, of ever seeing a man who could satisfy her ideas of perfection, had been rash and unjustifiable. Willoughby was all that her fancy had delineated in that unhappy hour, and in every brighter period. He was the sun shining on smooth rocks; he was a clear blue sky after monsoon season's end; he was perfection in a wet suit.
His appearance, besides the twitching tentacles that overhung his chin, was not unpleasing, despite being an absolute old bachelor; for he was the wrong side of five and thirty. Picture Lucy unburdening herself to Elinor of her secret engagement to Edward while Elinor fights off a two headed Sea Serpent. Finally, without giving away the big ending, i have to say there is a truly wonderful parody at the end of this book of the usual readers Discussion guide.
Is Monsieur Pierre a symbol for something? Name three other well-known works of Western Literature that feature orangutan valets. Are those characters also slain by pirates? I highly recommend it for both Jane Austen fans and those who thought she was a bore in first year university.
Winters Published by Quirk Books, September Sep 01, Anna rated it really liked it Shelves: As one might gather, comments fell into two camps: Last I heard, the movie rights were in hot contention. May I suggest, Hollywood, that no one could pull off Mr. You see, some time before the action takes place, a horrible change took place in the oceans of the world; known as the Alteration, this mysterious event turned all the creatures of the sea into vicious monsters, bent on destroying mankind.
Needless to say, this left England, being mostly coast, rather susceptible to attack by sea serpents, gargantuan jellyfish, razor-toothed crawfish, and the like. And where is Austen in all this? For instance, in the parody, poor Colonel Brandon is not only old at 35 and less than dashing: Nov 01, Meaghan rated it really liked it Shelves: I think this book is an improvement on the previous one in the series, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The zombies in the first book were really just window dressing. On the other hand, the sea monsters in this book were actually a major part of the plot and really livened up the story.
I cannot help but find Jane Austen's stories to be dull, dull, dull. I look forward to see what classics they warp next! Jan 15, Roxanne rated it did not like it Recommends it for: It takes a lot for me not to finish a book, but I have to say, I'm 50 pages in to this and really not loving it. Winters, however, doesn't seem to have any respect or love for Austen; unli It takes a lot for me not to finish a book, but I have to say, I'm 50 pages in to this and really not loving it. Winters, however, doesn't seem to have any respect or love for Austen; unlike Grahame-Smith, Winters seems to start from thinking Austen is boring and in need of livening up.
He turns Austen's rich characters into caricatures of themselves, and he slaps sea beasts into the story at random. He also takes a lot more liberties with the original text. Overall his version of this novel feels like a childish dig at the English teacher who forced him to read Austen. Sorry, but that's really not the way to approach a classic and well-loved text like this. Although if he'd done it to Emma , I'd have a little more sympathy--she's far more deserving of an octopus attack than the Dashwood sisters.
There were a few moments I appreciated--for example, Willoughby's physique-accentuating wetsuit, and just the concept of Brandon with tentacles--but it's really not enough to make me want to keep reading. Despite what I wrote above, I did, however, return to the book, and skimmed and skipped around until I got to the end, mostly just to see what Winters did with it.
I have to say, I kind of loved the conclusion of the Lucy Steele plotline--that was almost excellent. But just about everything else got on my nerves. Winters really hates these characters--Elinor's gaping neck wound, Marianne's bout with malaria AND yellow fever?
Yeah, still not down with this adaptation. View all 3 comments. Jul 13, Ben Babcock rated it did not like it Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Jane Austen and I have had a rocky relationship. I respect her as a writer and believe she deserves a place in the canon of great English authors, but I sometimes wonder if she is overhyped. When it comes to Sense and Sensibility , it has a lot of Austen's trademark wit, but as a first novel it also has the immaturity and inexperience of a writer learning the craft. Winters has an opportunity to take a promising tale of two sisters and amel Jane Austen and I have had a rocky relationship.
Winters has an opportunity to take a promising tale of two sisters and ameliorate it with his marine menaces. Indeed, this is probably the intention, but as I'm going to emphasize over and over again, it did not work out that way. Before I launch into my main criticism, I want to note two errors that jumped out at me while I read. The first is excusable, or at least explainable.
The second, not so much. Both are good examples of the carelessness that plagues this book. The first error is in the first paragraph of Chapter 9. The Dashwoods have arrived at Pestilence Isle and are settling into their new home. As part of these activities, "they had strung the encircling fence with garlands of dried kelp and lamb's blood, which Sir John Middleton had proscribed as the surest method to ward off" sea monsters.
Rather than proscribed , which means forbidden, I think the word Winters intends is prescribed. The two words are antonyms in meaning but only one letter apart. Hence, this is probably just a rather unfortunate typo. Copy editors are human too. Well, most of them. I cannot quite as easily dismiss the second error.
Later in the book Chapter 46 , Marianne is planning her new life without Willoughby: So the Marianne of Sense and Sensibility wouldn't know about Mendel. To be fair, Winters never specifies when this book takes place. Maybe it takes place in a later part of the nineteenth century, after Mendel starts his experiments. Yet this explanation is unsatisfactory for two reasons: And I think that would make for a different tone of book. No, the easiest explanation seems to be that Mendel's mention is an anachronism.
It only took me a few seconds to check Mendel's birth date on Wikipedia. What is Winters' excuse? That question, while pertinent, probably will not bear much fruit. Instead, let's consider two complementary questions. Does the sea monsters story need Sense and Sensibility or could it have worked on its own? Conversely, is Sense and Sensibility helped or improved in any way by the addition of sea monsters? They are actually much more than that. Some time prior to the story's start, the Earth's oceans experienced an "Alteration," and all marine life became hostile toward humankind.
Ocean voyages now hold great peril; even living near a lake is dangerous. Forget Sense and Sensibility for a moment: Considering Britain's status as a naval power, a far-flung empire, and an island, there would be plenty of interesting developments as a result of the Alteration. So many questions to explore, characters to create.
No offense meant to Austen, of course. But in trying—and I do emphasize that word, trying—to graft the plot and characters of Sense and Sensibility onto his Altered England, Winters misses the mark. Instead of creating a story truly worthy of such a fantastic setting, he tries to stretch a story that wasn't made to fit this canvas—and oh, how it shows. Take, for example, the cause of the Alteration. Winters throws out some half-hearted speculation.
Henry Dashwood dies pursuing the source of a poison stream he believes the cause. Sir John Middleton believes the Alteration is a curse upon England by one of the victims of British imperialism; he has devoted his life to finding the primitive tribe responsible, with no success. All these sound interesting, but under scrutiny they all fall apart. The Alteration's name indeed, the very fact that it has a Name suggests that the oceans were not always like this. Surely a calamity as great as the Alteration would be recorded: June 8, the dolphins killed my first mate.
God help us all! The poison stream and tribal curse theories are also rather silly, but slightly less so, and I suppose the latter works well as a background for Sir John. It just galls me that Winters takes such an off-handed approach to what may be the most important question in his universe. There's also something suspect about the number of people who spend their time near or on the ocean, considering its dangers. Let's start with Pestilence Isle.
Sir John lives on an archipelago off of Devonshire, specifically on Deadwind Island, and he lets a cottage on Pestilence Isle to the Dashwood women. It makes sense that Sir John would live on a tiny island. He's an adventurer, and he likes danger. But why would he put women needlessly in danger by giving them a cottage on a smaller island where he doesn't live? Why would the Dashwoods ever agree to live there?
As the frequent sea monster attacks show, the decision is practically suicidal. And don't get me started—yet—about what happens to Margaret. Actually, I kind of see how this one makes sense. It may be—nay, it is —stupid to build a gigantic dome habitation at the bottom of the ocean off the British coast and then invite all the upper class people to spend the winter there.
It would also feature an awesome underwater fight scene, in which Bond dispatches several baddies and a couple of sharks. However, Sub-Marine Station Beta is consistent with the British attitude of stalwart arrogance in the face of adversity. In a time of war, which this is, the British keep those upper lips stiff and like to show that they remain steadfast.
How better to show that you do not fear the enemy than building a stronghold in the middle of his or her territory? Sub-Marine Station Beta is an exercise in nationalism and a display of bravado. It's also rather stupid. The icing on the implausibility cake, however, are the pirates. Are we supposed to believe that there are outlaws who subsist by taking some of the few ships that survive sea monster attacks? And that these ships themselves somehow avoid succumbing to those same attacks? I love reading about pirates, but they are the most obvious example of something included in this book because it's cool instead of its potential contributions to the plot.
No, when I look at it this way, it is a shame that Winters had even to try to follow an outline of Sense and Sensibility in writing this book. It is a waste of a world that could have been so much more. And all of these flaws read like they are the result of carelessness, of unintentional neglect caused by starting with the idea of "it's Sense and Sensibility , but with sea monsters" and then throwing everything at the book to see what sticks.
I kind of feel sorry for the setting. Having determined that the sea monsters suffer at the hands of Sense and Sensibility , can we say the same in reverse? Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters does not merely besmirch its source material's good name; it follows Sense and Sensibility down a dark alleyway, beats it senseless, and then slinks away to commit more crimes against Austen's oeuvre. I thought so too, at first.
I wanted to find this book amusing. I wanted to chuckle at how Winters cleverly transposes the class humour and familial squabbles of Austen's characters into this Altered England. The more I read, however, the more I realized that Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters does not just fail to live up to its source. I could handle that. But no, it's much worse.
This book actively dismantles everything that makes Sense and Sensibility great English literature. Nineteenth-century English society holds our interest in part because its class system is very different from the way contemporary society is stratified. But it's not enough merely to mock or to belittle this difference. To successfully satirize Regency England, one must deconstruct its customs and culture and examine why our contemporary society finds it humorous.
Otherwise, all you're doing is pointing and laughing; on a scale of sophistication, that is barely above toilet humour. As its title specifies, Sense and Sensibility is about the balance between reason and emotionalism. Elinor, with her calculating and practical ways, embodies sense; Marianne, the emotional and impulsive one, sensibility. Winters pays lip service to these differences as he develops the plot along the same lines as the original novel.
While the developments in relations between characters, sea monster attacks aside, are the same, the emotional and thematic significance of these relationships are mangled in translation. For instance, I never feel the angst of Elinor's realization that Edward, whatever their feelings for one another, is unavailable.
Winters develops this, cashes in on the irony, and even makes Lucy Steele a sea-witch. But all the window dressing gets in the way of the nuances at play among Elinor, Edward, and Lucy. Similarly, Marianne's obsession with Colonel Brandon's face adds nothing to the character's obsession in the original novel with his age.
The revelation of Lucy's identity as a sea-witch also bothered me. Specifically, Sir John explains why sea-witches must take human form: Hence their occasional appearance, in the guise of attractive human women, among the terrestrial world—where they make love to an unknowing man, marry him unawares, and then, when the opportunity presents itself, kill him and suck out his marrow.
It is the last sentence that presents a problem: Surely it would be more effective to jump his bones literally and skip the tiresome courtship. In fact, why bother with a man at all? Why not just subdue some children and feed off of them? It might seem like I'm nitpicking, but I think these are reasonable questions about something that involves the motivations and actions of an important character.
At about the point where the situation at Sub-Marine Station Beta becomes dire, it dawned on me that the scope of Winters' narrative is entirely unsuited to Austen's original story. Sense and Sensibility is, like all of Austen's work, an intimate novel that uses a few families to portray all of English society in microcosm. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters is about a couple of girls crying about guys, kicking sea monster ass, escaping a doomed underwater city, and then witnessing the rise of an apocalyptic Leviathan.
The plot has suddenly become much bigger than the original story, dwarfing the characters and their problems, which are supposed to be centre stage. I have no idea what Winters was trying to do with Margaret's—I can only call it a "seduction" by the island. The whole subplot of Margaret discovering an entire species of subhumans who have existed "since the dawn of time" and worship the Leviathan is unnecessary and, frankly, uninteresting.
Once again, like Lucy the sea-witch and the cause of the Alteration, Winters has included something that probably seemed like a good idea but, taken together with the entire work, just adds clutter and confusion. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters promises that it "blends Jane Austen's biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of sea monsters biting.
I do not doubt the sincerity of the claim; it's clear that Winters and Quirks Classics have tried very hard to do justice to Austen's novel. In some ways, it would be better for everyone if this were some pernicious attempt to mock the source material—as it is, I feel a little pity for Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Its mistakes are made in a labour of love, but they are born from carelessness that could easily have been avoided. Mar 21, Brittney rated it did not like it.
Ok, I knew this was going to be a risk, trying this book. I thought I would like it though. I like people who take serious things and turn them on their head to be funny, like Princess Bride or Monty Python or pretty much all British comedy for example. I thought this would be silly and fun. It turns out that it was just boring and stupid. I cannot remember the last time I didn't finish a book until I tried reading this one.

The author basically takes the original story and adds in the fact that there are human eating sea monsters everywhere that go out of their way to try to kill humans.

Nov 10, Dreadlocksmile rated it really liked it. Utilising this newly fangled concept of carving up a classic piece of literature to make way for a more B-Movie-esque style of writing, Quirk editorial director Jason Rekulak struck absolute gold, with an eager audience ready to lap up the next Quirk instalment into this imaginative new genre. However, it became apparent to the publishers that the fanbase for these surreal re-workings wanted a higher percentage of new monster laden text.
The whole story sets off with the unfortunate death of a Mr. Dashwood, whereby he leaves the entirety of the family estate to his only son and child from his first wife, John Dashwood. John is convinced by his greedy wife Fanny to rid their newly acquired property of its current occupants - his three half-sisters Elinor, Marianne and Margaret as well as his recently widowed step-mother.
Whist adjusting themselves to their new lifestyles, the two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, find themselves experiencing both joyful romance and utter heartbreak. Love and lasting happiness is eventually achieved for both sisters after they each find equilibrium between the two contrasting characteristics that are so predominant between the two sisters; Elinor guided by her sense logic and Marianne who in turn is guided by her sensibility emotion. With this overall storyline already in place, all of the basic elements and characters are kept completely intact with Ben H.
Instead of simply being too long in his years, Colonel Brandon is now not only a gentleman of fine wealth and good manners, but now he has been inflicted with a mass of tentacles that adorn his otherwise human face as well as other regions. This doubled-up approach of mirroring the emotional peril with a B-movie monster attack at each point in the tale, delivers a thoroughly entertaining but doubly surreal element to the book.
Hats off to the man, for each and every time he juggles these two dramatic elements with nothing short of an imaginative and truly inspired flare. The novel as a whole runs smoothly throughout, with the light-hearted alterations never taking themselves too seriously. With so much emotional turmoil crashing down on the characters, Winters throws in a litany of sea monster mayhem in these final chapters, bringing the aquatic menace to gigantic proportions.
The cunning change of setting from London to the underwater city of Sub-Marine Station Beta, created a whole new opportunity for Winters to weave in his chaotic deep sea devilry. Whilst Elinor and Marianne are suffering their individual emotional heartbreaks all those leagues under the sea, Margaret in turn is dealing with a much darker Lovcraftian-esque affair. All in all this imaginative reworking has managed to successfully inject some satirical b-movie mayhem to a previously untouched classic.
But Quirk Classics have really found themselves a niche market to exploit, that as long as it never takes any of what it is doing too seriously which is highly unlikely , then it has a rich new ground to sow many seeds of sheer imagination. Nothing more and nothing less. And I for one bore a huge grin throughout each and every one of the tentacle infested pages. The book also contains fourteen black and white illustrations interspersed throughout the novel, usually of the more dramatic and therefore sea monster heavy moments.
The final icing on the cake is the excellent cover artwork painted by Lars Leetaru that appears on the front of the book. This one painting truly captures the essence of what the Quirk re-workings are all about. Aug 04, Amanda rated it it was amazing. This time around, the penniless Dashwood ladies are sent to live in shanty on a small island.
Not only must they deal with the fact that they are now poor and in need of wealthy husbands, but the nearby ocean is crawling with monstrous sea fare. The tentacle-faced Colonel Brandon has taken a bashful fancy to Marianne, who prefers the monster-killing Willoughby, while Elinor works her way into the heart of Edward Ferras.
Can the Dashwood sisters find true love amid the violence of sea monsters an This time around, the penniless Dashwood ladies are sent to live in shanty on a small island. Can the Dashwood sisters find true love amid the violence of sea monsters and pirate-like enemies? Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters continues the same ideas of the previous novel in the "Jane Austen and monsters " series, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but goes a step further. Instead of relying on some overdone paranormal element, like vampires or werewolves, the editors at Quirk Classics decided to be a little more original and create their own element -- "sea monsters.
Some of the best things here don't even seem to be part of any specific genre, like giant jellyfish attacks, giant fighting lobsters and pet orangutans. In fact, my favorite scene is when the dashing Willoughby comes to Marianne's rescue. Instead of twisting her ankle and getting caught in the rain, Marianne is attacked by a giant octopus, which Willoughby harpoons, and is rescued -- but not after being drenched in octopus blood and guts first, of course.
I began reading this book while hanging out with my boyfriend by the pool one afternoon. I kept laughing aloud so much that he had to ask what I was reading. After having to explain far too many scenes of over-the-top violence and insanity to him, I ended up reading several passages aloud, which sent both of us rolling in hysterics. Even my boyfriend, who isn't a big fan of Austen or classical literature, liked this.
This book was hilarious -- even better than Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
The ratio of silly to serious sea monster to Sense and Sensibility content has been amped up since Zombies. While some hardcore fans of Austen's novels will continue to decry this line of books for altering classic literature, they have to admit that it's gotten better this time around. I'm a big fan of Austen's original works, and I found this revised version of Sense and Sensibility to be fresh and fun while still keeping true to original concepts and ideas in the original.
Sure, Sea Monsters is even further away from the original than Zombies, but it allows for the sea monsters aspect to come alive instead of feeling like a pasted on afterthought to the original plot. It's filled with the same creative zaniness that readers have come to expect from this line of Quirk Classics, but taken to a whole new level.

Without Palmer, the Cleveland and the Dashwood sisters are at the mercy of the pirates. As Marianne is deathly ill and unable to move, Colonel Brandon volunteers to swim to Barton Cottage and return with Mrs. This leaves Elinor and Mrs. Jennings to defend the Cleveland. Willoughby departs just as Pirate Dreadbeard and his men arrive. Jennings bravely defend their ship, and Elinor summons a swarm of octopi using a special whistle that she has obtained from Willoughby.
Marianne recovers from her malaria. She points out that the combination of her wish for death and her deadly illness was morally equivalent to attempting suicide , and resolves to model herself after Elinor. A servant reports to the Dashwoods that Mr. Ferrars has married Lucy. Elinor is overcome by pain and visions of a five-pointed star; upon reflection, she realizes that the pain and visions have been with her and always appear most forcefully whenever Lucy is around.
Before Elinor can form a plan to save Edward, he arrives at Barton Cottage. They resolve to leave Robert to his terrible fate, feeling that he deserves it. The happy occasion is literally upended when the island upon which Barton Cottage rests suddenly rises from the ocean; it turns out to be not an island at all, but rather a monstrous sea-beast known as Leviathan , awakened from a long slumber and hungry for all sorts of marine life.
The characters survive their sudden upheaval from their former island home. Edward reconciles with his mother and asks Elinor to marry him; and she agrees. The couple begin a simple new life tending to the lighthouse at Delaford. Marianne resolves to become a marine engineer so that she can design a new Sub-Marine Station Gamma dome.
Despite herself, she comes to fall in love with Colonel Brandon, and the two eventually marry. Willoughby, somewhat to his dismay, is forgiven by his aunt for his treatment of Eliza and reclaims his inheritance. He realizes that had he married Marianne for love instead of Miss Grey for money, he would have eventually attained both love and money. Instead he is left to ponder what might have been.
