Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion


TITLE:  Warm Bodies
AUTHOR:  Marion, Isaac
GENRE:  Fiction/Zombies
DATES READ:  1/7/2013 - 1/15/2013
MY RATING:  3/5

I kind of love that this book is a play on Romeo & Juliet.  Also, it was a pretty deep critique on humanity in general.  But the post-apocalyptic world was pretty typical of other books.

The one thing that really made this book sing was R.  He was a deeper character than most, the irony in that he is a zombie.  I would read the book all over again, just to look through his view on society once more.

The book was very fun to ready, and it definitely makes me want to go see the movie.  However, I would recommend you read the book first, because the message is much deeper than the movie appears.

Overall, this book was well done, but it was the zombie hero, R, that made it for me.

Will read and write soon!
