About this ebook

‘The zombie novel with a heart', Guardian

Now a major motion picture starring Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer and John Malkovich, Warm Bodies is the ultimate zombie read this Halloween.

'R' is a zombie. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He is a little different from his fellow Dead.

Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can't understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins.

This has never happened before. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. But their grim, rotting world won't be changed without a fight...

Ratings and reviews

Bcoz it shows what's the love is love means affection, feelings etc etc.... in this movie I like one dialogue 'R' says if we want to know about a girl we have to eat their ex boyfriend brain!!! It's really comedy dialogue and if it understands that dialogue it's Damn true dialogue...hero is really awesome.

It was a good read for a new idea but shame he didnt keep up the hummor .Great for teens and young adults bit i did feel like he kept running out ideas on how to finish the book and give it not dull bit easy way out so three stars from me

One of my all time favourite book series, this story about a zombie falling in love has no right being as beautiful and profound as it is. R and Julie hold a very special place in my heart, and I'd encourage you to let them into yours as well.
