Publisher Description
‘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...

You can’t beat Marion for his way with words
I am a fan of young adult fiction, but I can’t see how an adult too wouldn’t appreciate the imagery and metaphors in this book. I tell all my year 11 GCSE English students to read this and learn how to write from it. Each time I devour it, I learn a new word :)
Awwww
Cute, mushy, dramatic. It's like chick lit for girls who don't like chick lit. I couldn't put it down and managed it in one sitting! Worth a read.

Good read! Enjoyed the different perspective and odd humour
