Warm Bodies
by Isaac Marion
Warm Bodies is amusingly heartwarming in parts for an apocolyptic book with some darker elements in.
⚠️TW: gore, death, drugs abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, strong language, death, bloody violence, self harm, prostitution
*spoilers*
This is a case of a zombie who wants to feel human. It gives me Frankenstein vibes (without turning evil).
We discovering what afterlife is like from the perspective of a zombie called R. As a collective, zombies can't read or remember their names.... oh and they eat human flesh. However, when R comes across Julie everything changes...
R is prepared to leave the undead to pursue Julie and goes back into the land of the living. As a result he begins to change dramatically.
The idea that zombies can see memories or reflections of people's lives is fascinating, poetic almost.
The film I feel takes the best elements of the book and focuses on the love story.
I find it interesting that the book's focus lies in the victim - Julie's ex and how R's conscience creeps in and he feels the need to repay him aka own up to killing him. It also omits how creepy R's friend is, the concept of R having a zombie wife and kids and the death of Julie's dad.
A very witty and cleverly written book - the ending was unexpected ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I look forward to reading the whole series.
