Warm Bodies: A Novel | Isaac Marion
135 posts | 205 read | 1 reading | 78 to read
Scary, funny, and surprisingly poignant, Warm Bodies is about being alive, being dead, and the blurry line in between.R is having a no-life crisishe is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but hed rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization. And then he meets a girl. First as his captive, then his reluctant house guest, Julie is a blast of living color in Rs gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesnt want to eat this girlalthough she looks delicioushe wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they cant imagine, and their hopeless world wont change without a fight.

Didn‘t know there was a sequel until a few months ago, but I started this book at work for my lunch hour read. While the movie is very different, I like the two of them for different reasons.

Hello. Just showing signs of life. 🧟‍♀️
Full of snot but still kickin‘! 🤧

My *goal* is to finish matchmaking by Monday. I‘m fairly obsessed, tbh. I *may* have even pulled up the spreadsheet during my lunch break at work today. We shall see how truly single-minded I can be! 😅

I couldn‘t find my copy of World War Z, so I must have gotten rid of it at some point, which means this is my only Zombie book. Read this last year for #Scarathlon!

I finished this one earlier in the week and I really enjoyed it! Now I kind of want to rewatch the movie adaptation to see how different it was.

Warm Bodies is funny, bittersweet, and thought provoking, if you stop and think what it means to be Dead or Alive.

(Also, I can‘t resist: what does a vegan zombie eat? Grains!)

I read this for the Scarathlon but I was too slow. Kind of a sweet, zombie version of Romeo and Juliet. I think I‘ll watch the movie just to see how they tackled this storyline.

I know some people have asked about how I am doing after breaking my knee last Monday, so here is an update now that I am back home and have seen the ortho. We were able to remove the plaster cast that was put on in France and replace with a brace that will slowly allow me more mobility on my knee. Thankful that surgery was not required, though I will still be immobile for awhile. Watching Halloween movies and finishing this book today 🎃

Kimberlone Thanks again to everyone who has wished me well the past week, I had so many comments I couldn‘t respond to all of them! 2y

Really liked this! Very unique take on a totally overdone trope… second team read for #teamhendrix and another 3 hrs for #20in4 … think I‘m going to have to go by chapters and call it a success that way 🙈

I love this book so much. I felt actual emotion when I read it. The story of a zombie who is trying to find his way back to humanity. This feels so original. In general, I try to avoid zombie stories because they bore me. But for Warm Bodies I will make an exception. So good. 5 stars.

Braaaaaiiiinnnsss… 🧟

1. Quiet zombies. I hate jump scares SO MUCH!
2. One of the two #BuddyRead books for #TeamHendrix . We‘ll see which hold comes in first for me to read.
3. So I read Seanan McGuire‘s Feed last year, near the beginning of *gestures vaguely at everything* and a virus makes a lot of sense. 😬

jessinikkip I think for number 1 it depends if you mean movies or real life. In movies i hate quiet zombies. But in real life I'm deaf so I wouldnt hear them anyway. So then, quiet but slow is the perfect way to go for me. 2y

My Week 1 #Scarathlon #TeamHendrix Total is 9,136!

Thanks to the word game & 6 readathons (which bless the spreadsheet providers because some were weekend or specific books, or monthlong or audiobooks-so varying hour amounts & Beanstacker was helpful). But I think I got it all sorted. The early #TBR & team read points helped & I‘m impressed I got 6 books read/listened to from 10/1-10/10.
I am sure my next week total won‘t be this high.🤷🏻‍♀️

Finished the #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix buddy read and we watched the movie tonight. #screamathon #scarepairs

I remembered enjoying the movie when I first saw it several years ago. However I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the book and really enjoyed it. The friendship between R and M was one of my favorite things in the book and I loved seeing those moments in the movie. I may pick up the second book at some point too.

I read this as the #teambuddyread for #teamhendrix for #scarathlon & watched the movie this afternoon for #screamathon Week 1 #ScarePairs prompt.

I actually liked the book more than I thought I might. I liked the humor & getting R‘s POV as a zombie & his friendship with M. In fact, I think the friendships between R & M & Julie & Nora were what I liked more than the zombie romance. I saw the movie when it came out & although there were some ⬇️

DebinHawaii …differences, quite a lot of it aligned with the book. I like that it was a quick read too. 😉 I may give the sequel a try at some point. 🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️ Now I just need to figure out the whole #scarathlon points thing! 🤔 (edited) 2y

I *finally* finished last month‘s #NovelWatchingCrew book! (But not the movie yet.)

I enjoyed it enormously, right blend of zombie grossness, humor and every color of emotional string-pulling.

I‘m not sure I‘m up to the sequel/s though. I just want the happy ending for this couple & the budding romance of their costars.

(Forgive me for not remember who I should be tagging. I will accept your rebuke & correction with roll call. 😕
