    Short Description for Warm Bodies'R' is a zombie. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He is a little different from his fellow Dead. Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape.

    A must read! Original, witty, well written4

    Alison Sammes This may well be the best book I’ve read all year! It’s original and well written and just left me blown-away; taking an age old zombie horror and adding completely believable romantic elements in the middle of a different type of struggle to survive.
    ‘R’ is a zombie; zombies eat people; but if you’ve read (and enjoyed) Clan of the Cave Bear, you may understand the ‘wow’ feeling of having your mind expanded in ways you’d just never conceived.
    Isaac Marion has created a wonderfully unique world, that is perfectly overlaid a world we are comfortable with, so there is a sense of familiarity that means the reader isn’t struggling to come to terms with completely new concepts, yet he manages to introduce a post apocalyptic America, where zombies rule, in a very original way.
    Living humans have locked themselves up in sporting arenas, which have created instant, defendable cities. But the zombies aren’t just stumbling around waiting to be picked off; they’ve formed groups, and have a semi-organised social structure.  It’s the exploration of the zombie group mind that makes this book so original. We see the world through the eyes and thoughts of the zombie ‘R’.
    Some of the interaction between R and Julie does require a bit of ‘suspension of belief’ as Mr Marion tries to work this new idea of zombie/human friendship into a believable plot structure, but it doesn’t take too long for things to start falling into place.
    This is a very hard book to review without discussing too much of the plot, and giving spoilers; but it is very well written, in a well thought out first person monologue, with fascinating characters, interesting ideas and a very strong plot.
    I’m not sure if there is a book two in the pipelines; Warm Bodies was complete, but there are so many stories that could come from within the wonderful world that Mr Marion has created.
    Warm Bodies is zombie love like you’ve never experienced; it’s witty, funny, charming, heartbreaking, thought provoking and just a bloody good read. by Alison Sammes
