A zombie who yearns for a better life ends up falling in love with a human, in this original debut novel. R is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He doesn't enjoy killing people; he enjoys riding escalators and listening to Frank Sinatra. He is a little different from his fellow Dead. Not just another zombie novel, this is funny, scary, and deeply moving.

5 stars

Warm Bodies is one of those books that I fell in love with from the start and just want to tell people to read it.

German Review:

Kein träger Zombiehorror, sondern eine blutsüße Romanze

R ist ein Zombie. Gemeinsam mit seinen Mit-Zombies ist er tagein tagaus auf der Suche nach menschlichem Fressen. Dann trifft er auf Julie. Eine junge lebende Frau. Sein Verlangen, sie zu fressen, verliert gegen etwas, da sich in ihm regt. Er rettet sie vor den anderen gierigen Zombies und tritt damit eine Welle des Wandels los.

Meine Meinung:
Um es in einem Wort zu sagen: Cool.
Diese Geschichte ist unglaublich. Zugegeben, zu Beginn muss man seine Ekelgrenzen herunterschrauben. Denn es werden Hirne gegessen, Arme abgerissen und in verschiedene Nacken gebissen. Aber erstaunlicherweise freundet man sich damit an.
Ich selbst bin Zombie-Neuling und kenne weder Zombie-Literatur, noch Zombie-Filme und trotzdem hat mich Rs Geschichte gereizt. Um mich zu outen: Ja, ich hab es wegen der Liebesgeschichte darin gelesen. Das hat mich neugierig gemacht.
Endlich eine Liebesgeschichte ohne naheperfekter Frau oder Mann. R, …
