Warm Bodies | July 2, 2011

by Isaac Marion (Simon & Schuster, Jan. 2011)

Mmm, mmm brains? Try mmm, mmm zombies. Warm Bodies is the story of the loveable (yes, loveable) zombie R and his struggles with personal identity, first love, and the inconveniences of postmortem decay. After munching on a teenage boy’s brain, he is shocked to discover feelings of warmth toward that boy’s girlfriend, Julie. She transforms his melancholy world and he develops a new attitude toward humanity. As funny as it is touching, this book is fantastic but relatable, absurd but definitely real. It is a story for every age and every stage of decay.
