NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

“Dark and funny.” —Wired
“A mesmerizing evolution of a classic contemporary myth.” —Simon Pegg

In Warm Bodies, Isaac Marion’s New York Times bestselling novel that inspired a major film, a zombie returns to humanity through an unlikely encounter with love.

“R” is having a no-life crisis—he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but he’d rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization.

And then he meets a girl.

First as his captive, then his reluctant house guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R’s gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn’t want to eat this girl—although she looks delicious—he wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can’t imagine, and their hopeless world won’t change without a fight.

I read the comments on this novel and I see that most of them are women... This makes me feel a bit strange. Anyway, I actually really enjoyed this book. Marion's writing style is great; he develops his sentences intricately, and he uses great metaphors and language. At times I felt the book was a bit pretentious, but I actually really enjoyed it, and most of the book was not predicatable, especially the ending. Some things were a little cheesy and I didn't like Perry's character all that much so four stars

La historia es hermosa, muy buen descrita y con un lenguaje de joven... muy entretenido y rapido de leer..

wonderful book................ :D.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
