Pride, Prejudice & Zombies And Flashes of Hilarity

I was reading along last night, frankly feeling just a bit bored with Pride, Prejudice & Zombies.  I've read Pride and Prejudice twice in the last five years and I was thinking I'd enjoy the Zombie version more if it had been longer since I'd read the original.  Then I read the chapter from Charlotte Lucas' pointe of view.  The whole chapter was short and sweet and so subtly funny it made me like the whole book more.  With renewed interest, I now look forward to the second half of the book.

Today I'm reading Jane Austen's Emma.  I've actually been reading it for a couple of weeks now and I'm really struggling to get in to it.  So far Emma strikes me as a coddled, somewhat empty headed, vain little girl.  The people around her seem to exist only to please her, and I'm bored.  This is the second Austen book I've read, and it took me a while to get into Pride and Prejudice, too.  I eventually loved it so I'm not giving up on Emma yet, but could use some input.  Does Emma ever develop any depth?  Do the people around her become more than props intended to appease her?  In short, does the story improve?  Should I cut my losses and move on to Neil Gaiman's new book Trigger Warning?
