Warm Bodies

A Novel

De: Isaac Marion

Narrado por: Kevin Kenerly

R is a young man with an existential crisis—he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. His ability to connect with the outside world is limited to a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. After experiencing a teenage boy’s memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and strangely sweet relationship with the victim’s human girlfriend, Julie.

Julie is a blast of color in the otherwise dreary and gray landscape that surrounds R. His choice to protect her will transform not only R but his fellow Dead and perhaps their whole lifeless world. Scary, funny, and surprisingly poignant, Warm Bodies explores what happens when the cold heart of a zombie is tempted by the warmth of human love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“I never thought I could care so passionately for a zombie. This story stayed with me long after I was done reading it.” (Stephenie Meyer, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Twilight series)

Zombies with emotions...it's weird and wonderful!

I am not a big fan of zombie stories (with the exception of the Walking Dead). I decided to get this book based on all the good reviews on Audible. I am so glad I did!!! This story was so unique and so captivating. It's both weird and wonderful. I've never read anything like it. Kudos to both Issac Marion for writing such a rich and enthralling story and to Kevin Kenerly for bringing it to life with his amazing performance. 5 Stars all around!!!

I was surprised and a bit blown away

Ok, zombie Romeo and survivor Juliet kind of story. I expected to be kind of cheesy and I had low expectations for this book.

I did not expect to be in awe of the words, the flow... It was like music or wind. This was not the next War and Peace or anything but I absolutely loved it.

I loved R and his eloquent inner monologues.

“Are my words ever actually audible, or do they just echo in my head while people stare at me, waiting? I want to change my punctuation. I long for the exclamation marks, but I'm drowning in ellipses.” - R

If you're on the fence, I'd say go ahead and give it a try.

Fascinating!

I very much enjoyed both the story and the narration of this novel. It was an interesting look into a strangeness that is hard to wrap my head around! I'd seen the movie first, but the characters took on new shapes, faces, and voices in my mind as I read the book. Really fun read!

Zombie love story fit for the times

I loved everything about this story. so much fun. I definitely will be reading the next in the series!

fantastic

Any additional comments?

Warm Bodies is an amazing book. This book is funny, intellectual, has depth, and carries an important message that is incredibly inspirational to me.

Better than the Movie

Charming story, however, like the Tinman in the Wizard of Oz, the main character assumes he has little brain capacity, yet is able to narrate the entire tale. Once you suspend disbelief of that, the story is very charming. I thought the "Bonies" were going to be something different explaining the affliction.

An original.

This zombie book was like poetry. If you want to enjoy something different than your average zombie tale, this one is full of life and hope. Just wonderful.

Well "R" eats the brain of Julie's boyfriend, Perry, and becomes completely infatuated with Julie and saves her.
