Warm Bodies

Warm Bodies โ€“ Isaac Marion

(Vintage, ยฃ7.99)

If youโ€™re a fan of existential ramblings, youโ€™ll love this book. It tells the story of R, a zombie living in an airport after a virus all but wipes out the human race. He lives a simple life, shuffling here and there and grunting at his undead companions. He even has a โ€œwifeโ€ and โ€œkidsโ€ betrothed to him. Then one day R meets Julie, a live human who gets separated from her group during a hunting trip โ€“ and whose boyfriend he just ate.

Julieโ€™s tenacity awakens something in R that makes him want to get to know her rather than devour her, making for a haunting love story that brings hope humanity can survive just about anything โ€“ even death.
