saves her, taking her back with him to the airport and hiding her from the other zombies who just smell the life in her. Julie gets caught up with the zombies in R.'s hunting group, and R. Until he runs into Julie and her friends, regular humans out on a scavenging mission from their home, an old sports stadium. He lives in an airplane at the airport (flight has stopped long ago), goes out hunting with his fellow zombies, and even has a zombie wife. Based loosely on Romeo and Juliet, Warm Bodies follows the life (or “life”) of R., a zombie who has a very rich inner monologue. If you’re familiar with the film, you’ll recognize most of what’s in the book, although there are some differences. The book is a quick read – it’s not short, but the action moves at a nice clip. That sounded kind of interesting, so I decided to read the book. Marion had written, and which a film director had picked up. If I’m remembering correctly, the book was actually written to fulfill an option placed on a short story Mr. So adorable that we ended up watching all the extras, including one where they speak with the author of the book. And that generic someone was correct: the movie was adorable. It was available on Redbox, my husband and I wanted to watch something, and we both thought we’d remembered someone saying it was cute and different from standard zombie fare. I say this all because the reason I ended up reading Warm Bodies is because I saw the movie. I did see Shawn of the Dead about two years ago and I recall laughing very loudly at Zombieland. I have no desire to watch The Walking Dead (and have muted all related hashtags on Twitter) no interest in World War Z. I know it might be blasphemy to admit this, but here goes: I’m not really into zombies.
