This was really funny. Imagine the Pride and Prejudice that everyone knows and loves and swap nannies for dojo and parasols for katanas. A slight to a warrior woman at a ball could end up in a man walking away with one less ear, or not walking away at all! There was enough changed in the text to make it a new story but it definitely didn't lose the charm and wit that I love from the original works. I was surprised to find the movie was very different from the book in the end, though I don't know why. I definitely preferred the book as the movie was a bit too over the top in my opinion.
