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....

Author Isaac Marion writes a refreshing take on zombies.This one is kind of like Romeo & Juliet, except R is a zombie guy and Julie is still alive. We get the story through his eyes. R does not remember his name or his age, or anything really before he died. In a world where the dead walk and the living are trying to stay alive, R comes across Julie one day while out looking for food.
Julie is running with a group of others when they are overcome by zombies hunting. When R sees Julie he knows he cannot kill her so he saves her instead. He takes her home to his zombie community, an abandoned airport.
What happens to R is that he begins to change as he falls in love with Julie. He finds himself becoming more human-like and apparently, this change is contagious. Zombies and the living have never fallen in love with one another, so theirs is a one of a kind romance and one that really turns heads.
The storyline was unique, the writing flowed smoothly and I enjoyed the romance and humor. I did not find any dull spots. The characters are well written and likeable, R made me laugh throughout and he is a sweet hero.
I also liked Julie’s character. She is no damsel in distress. She is smart, sassy and she sticks up for what she believes in. I liked that these two share a love of good music, like Frank Sinatra.
Overall, a fun, quirky, sweet story about how love can change people for the better. All you need is love right?

Warm Bodies (Audible Audio Edition) Isaac Marion Kevin Kenerly Random House Audiobooks Books Reviews
This was a good book. Engaging and well written. It didn't earn 5 stars from me, though, because there were too many plot holes.
Mmm... maybe that's the wrong phrasing... perhaps it was just "too much suspending belief" (rather than actual holes). I realize it's a zombie appocalypse, so suspending belief is already kind of a major prerequisite. HOWEVER, the idea that love cures some kind of zombie illness was a stretch, even considering the genre. This set up created way too many unanswered "what if's" in my head.
I also thought the shifts between Perry and R were a bit convoluted at times. I got lost who was speaking and when. Perhaps that was purposeful on the part of the author, since their respective minds seem to be kind of sharing the same body. But even still, it was a bit too wonky. Plus, I couldn't figure out how R could remember details about countries and baseball teams and sex and all sorts of things, but somehow, his own name and how to read was lost on him. That was a head scratcher.
Still a good read though! Much more gritty than the movie. I enjoyed it!
I highly recommend this book. I loved the movie and I enjoy the mix of dark and bright things so the story line is really appealing to me. I was very surprised and excited for the twists and turns in this book that weren't in the movie, I don't want to ruin anything but the last few chapters had me on the edge of my seat because it was so different from the movie I wasn't sure what to expect. I also like the deep story line of Perry which you don't get in the movie. Overall, I really enjoyed, no complaints at all and I will be looking into the other two books in this series here shortly for sure!
Who says zombies are dead?
Well, a lot of people I suppose. This isn't my first time reading this literary masterpiece and it won't be my last. "Warm Bodies" is incredible. I remember finding thIS book in a random store many years ago...I think it was a Target, not sure, but I found the synopsis very odd and because of that I read it. I loved it so much that I read it over and over again. I also read the "prequel" about a year ago as well and loved it too. Then, I found out Marion was writing a sequel and I was ecstatic.
R and Julie's characters are familiar yet utterly unique...does that make sense? We've all known someone who feels lost and always seems to be on the outside looking in and we also know a broken person who is just trying to survive all while having hope humming in their hearts. That is what they represent. HOPE.
This book, yes, it is about zombies, but it also about humanity as a whole. Warm Bodies breaks down humanity to it's molecular level and it tests it all while trying to save it. I love the humor in the book that accompanies the dark and stressful moments. R brings comedy, but a lot of what he experiences make you think. I think everyone should read this book. Even if you think it may be a bit corny, just do it.
Warm Bodies is unique and I have still failed to read anything like it. Isaac Marion has become an author that I highly respect and I am so excited to read more of his new work and continue reading his old.
