    5 Stars Isaac Marion breathes new life into zombie myth... 27/04/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sublime writing style, interesting characterization, plot, readability and overall creativity.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Social commentary is a little bit too 'in your face' for my liking...

    'Warm bodies' is essentially a zombie love story, a story about a reanimated corpse named 'R' who falls in love with Julie, one of the last of humankind struggling in a post-apocalyptic society. R comes across Julie when he attacks her boyfriend Perry. He consumes Perry's brain and begins to appropriate his memories, including those of Julie. As a result of this, he is drawn to Julie and decides to protect her from the feeding frenzy that takes the lives of her companions. He takes her back to the disused airport which he inhabits and from then on a strange but sweet and tender relationship ... more

    Advantages Advantages R and Julie were amazing characters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Would like to know if there is a second book

    About the book Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion was released on 14th October 2010. It was published by Vintage and is 256 pages long. I was lucky enough to win this in a competition on Twitter.

Unlike the other zombies, he is able to dream even if he can’t make any sense of them. R knows what he has to eat to survive but that doesn’t mean he has to like it or want to do it. Out on a hunt for food (humans), R manages to meet a girl who he refuses to eat ... more

    5 Stars First time I ever rooted for a zombie to succeed! 17/09/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages a thought provoking, original, fresh idea

    Disadvantages Disadvantages don't eat while reading, some parts are about eating flesh!

    One of the quotes featured on the front cover of this book was from Simon Pegg:- 'A mesmerising evolution of a classic contemporary myth' Could not have said it better myself. My favourite line of the book is: 'There is no ideal world for you to wait around for. The world is always just what it is now, and it's up to you how you respond to it.' This book is essentially a 'zombie romance.' When I first heard about the book my first thought was, 'err gross.' After all, I do love a gory film and zombie films are my favourite. The zombies, however, are never the characters I root for, it's always ... more
