Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen has to be one of the most adapted novels in the world. There are so many different versions out there, and while some are pretty weak (*cough*Zombies*cough*), there are a few that are surprisingly original, clever and fun. The most unique of these has definitely got to be The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, created by Hank Green and Bernie Su. Told primarily through Lizzie's YouTube vlogs, and supplemented by social media sites like Tumblr (Jane has a fashion blog!) and Twitter, it's a thoroughly modern take on the classic. It's incredibly clever and so many levels of awesome.
