Publisher's Summary

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.

What the critics say

“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)

Fascinating Story

I chose this book because I really enjoyed the movie. There are significant differences in the novel from the movie, and I actually think I like them better than where the movie went. Great listen!

Wish I hadn't seen the movie first...

Overall its great book and a fun twist on the whole zombie thing, I just wish I hadn't seen the movie first because I loved the movie. The book still was funny and quirky and I'm glad I listened to it. I would recommend reading the book first, there's much more to these characters than is portrayed in the movie.

Believable Narration

The Zombie Narration is so good. Between his internal thoughts and external words, you can hear the zombie coming out in such a believable and lovely way. I could listen to this on repeat. #Audible1
