Now a major motion picture from Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the blockbuster Twilightseries and the upcoming movie Insurgent, starring Academy Award Nominee John Malkovich, Nicholas Hoult, and Teresa Palmer and directed by Jonathan Levine. 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 he'd 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 guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R's gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn't want to eat this girlalthough she looks delicioushe wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can't imagine, and their hopeless world won't change without a fight.

R is a young man with an existential crisis--he is a zombie. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. He has no memories, noidentity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. After experiencing a teenage boy's memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and stragely sweet relationship with the victim's human girlfriend. Julie is a blast of color in the otherwise dreary and gray landscape that surrounds R. His decision 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 is about being alive, being dead, and the blurry line in between.

Isaac Marion, o escritor que foi encontrado nos confins da internet, merece uma salva de palmas por ter pegado um tema batido de terror e conseguido transformá-lo em um conto sobre a condição humana. Foi um livro surpreendentemente bom, tanto pelo estilo quanto pelo resgate de certas coisas que não vemos mais na literatura intimista atual: moral.

A história de R tem como fio condutor a fascinação que ele sente pela humana "Viva" Julie, e é através disso que vemos como sua mente, feita de muito mais de meias palavras e fome, tenta se relacionar novamente com o mundo. Uma clara metáfora da apatia social que temos hoje em dia.

Para ser ainda mais simplista, R e Julie são de certa forma uma recontagem da história de Romeu e Julieta. E tão romântica quanto sua predecessora. Romântica com zumbis? Pois é, todas as divagações de R são líricas.

Além disso, uma das coisas interessantes é como o autor se utiliza de cultura para provar seu ponto. Desde o pop mais básico até vagas noções de cultura pré-babilônica. Mas o que poderia ser brega encaixou nesse livro. Em praticamente todos os capítulos tem-se a vaga noção de que tudo que um ser humano precisa, vivo ou morto, é amor.
